Christmas at White Oak Tavern: A Cozy Greenwich Village Tradition

The holidays in New York City have a charm unlike anywhere else — the twinkling lights, the crisp winter air, and the magic that settles over every corner of the city. And right in the heart of it all, White Oak Tavern has transformed into one of the coziest Christmas restaurants in NYC, glowing with holiday spirit in the middle of Greenwich Village.

This season, our rustic tavern takes on an even warmer glow. At the entrance, garlands drape along the doorways, wreaths adorn the windows, and soft candlelight fills the room. Whether you’re joining us for a festive dinner, a holiday catch-up with friends, or a cozy date night, our décor sets the perfect backdrop for celebrating the New York Christmas season.

Just steps away from NYU, Union Square, and Washington Square Park, White Oak Tavern is a welcoming neighborhood spot for anyone seeking a calm, intimate retreat from the holiday rush. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by classic Christmas décor, vintage touches, evergreen arrangements, and warm lighting that makes every corner feel like home. It’s the kind of atmosphere that reflects everything we love about holiday dining in NYC — inviting, nostalgic, and filled with seasonal charm.

Our kitchen celebrates the season with the hearty, comforting flavors of American tavern cuisine NYC. Whether you’re stopping in after seeing the NYC Christmas lights, taking a break from holiday shopping in the Village, or meeting friends for a winter dinner, our menu brings together warmth, flavor, and tradition. And of course, our bar team keeps things festive with small batch cocktails, mulled-inspired specials, and wines perfect for cold winter evenings.

If you’re hosting a gathering this month, our event space in Greenwich Village is ideal for small holiday parties, intimate celebrations, and end-of-year get-togethers. With festive décor already in place, it’s one of the most charming holiday event spaces in NYC, especially for those seeking something warm, relaxed, and authentically Village.

What makes December at White Oak Tavern so special is the way the room transforms as the evening unfolds. Lights twinkle, conversations linger, and the coziness of the tavern becomes part of the holiday experience. We love being a part of your Christmas in New York traditions — whether it’s your first visit or the place you return to year after year.

So this season, let the Village draw you in. Stop by White Oak Tavern to enjoy the holiday atmosphere, seasonal food, and the magic that only a Greenwich Village Christmas can offer.
