Overview

An oasis among the cookie cutter bars of the UES, The Auction House is warm, cozy and laid-back. It makes a great place to take a date, or just have a relaxed pint without annoyance of TVs and frat boys exchanging high-fives after every round of shots.

History

The oasis is still on East 89th

Our old listing called the Auction House an oasis among the cookie-cutter bars of the Upper East Side: warm, cozy and laid-back, a good place for a date or a relaxed pint away from the TVs. Time Out found it at 300 East 89th Street in March 2025, chandeliers dangling¹, and a directory listing for the address carries a review from July 2026².
