Rolf’s Bar & German Restaurant

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


During the six weeks before Christmas, Rolf’s transforms from average German bar into a whimsical tribute to the yuletide season that falls somewhere between Santa’s workshop and an Addams Family holiday party, with baubles, tinsel and hundreds of dolls that stare at you while you swig mulled wine. For the spectacle alone, it's just about worth the crowds and overpriced drinks.

Come after 10pm to avoid the queues.
