Why We Like It

Few things go together better than fine whiskey and great music, and you’ll find that combination at this plush, softly lit hideaway on 52nd Street. The whiskey comes mostly from Japan and the music flows from a collection of international discs played on a world-class sound system (think JBL, Boenicke, and McIntosh).

Need to Know

Bar Orai accepts reservations up to 2 weeks in advance with each new day becoming available at 11am ET. Reservations are available for a party of 2 and up to 4. We also welcome walk-in guests, but please note that seating is very limited, and wait time might vary from 15 minutes to 2hrs.

A $2 per person reservation fee will be added to all reservations ...

About Bar Orai

Orai is a bar for those who appreciate music and whisky. We play jazz, soul, R&B, hip-hop, and more—all on vinyl—through three distinct pairs of loudspeakers that fill the space with rich, immersive sound.

Our collection features over a thousand vinyl records sourced from around the world, and it continues to grow.
