Rolf's Bar & Restaurant
What the experts agree on
This Gramercy institution serves hearty German classics like schnitzel and potato pancakes alongside quality German beers, but it's the year-round—especially holiday—Christmas kitsch that steals the show. A colorful, nostalgic time warp.
“Best experienced “around the holidays”, this circa-1968 Gramercy German “time warp” is a “sight to see” when the “lavish” Christmas decorations go up (“bring your sunglasses”).”
– Zagat

New York Magazine "Crispy potato pancakes and simple, hot-dog-like wursts keep kids complacent, while a few steins of the array of German pilsners and hefeweissen will find mom and dad satisfied." Full review
The Infatuation "This German bar and restaurant in Gramercy is decked out in colorful lights, wreaths, ornaments, and dolls year-round. With heavy dishes like wiener schnitzel and meatloaf, and drinks like mulled wine" Full review
