Head & Tails: Clock Bar

As the newly opened bar in Union Square’s Westin St. Francis, Clock Bar firmly establishes itself as one to watch. Its drink menu provides a satisfying range of house favorites and seasoned classics. Of note, the Napa Sour offers an interesting, if not overly saccharine, twist on the whiskey sour with its introduction of local red wine and egg whites. The Uptown Manhattan is bold and impactful, though little distinguishes it from the original excepting a dash of cherry brandy. The music selection varied confusingly from smooth instrumental jazz through to favorites like Nina Simone and Al Green. Overall, however, I would say Clock Bar was a gem. Its well-considered drink selection, friendly staff and slick Vegas-like interior provides a pleasing respite to the crowds and congestion of Union Square. Clock Bar is mostly right on chime.
