THE DAKOTA BAR is Jennifer Klein's new venue
adorning the corner of West 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue, the
same street she is grateful to call home for over 30 years.
Passionate about celebrating this area's unique special magic, and
an entrepreneur in the food industry for over 20
years, Jennifer was among the first pioneers in the new wave of
small wine bars. In 2006, Jennifer founded her first wine
bar & cafe on Columbus Avenue and managed it until 2010.
During that wonderful time she was honored by the West Side
Spirit in 2007 as "Restaurateur of the Year"... by Wine
Enthusiast Magazine in 2008 and 2009 as operating "one of the
nation’s most wine-friendly restaurants"... and, of course,
every year her small wine bar won a Wine Spectator
Award. Her smiling crowd of regulars included celebrities and
wine lovers from the neighborhood and around the world.
Now with Jennifer's special ingredients of good taste, warmth, and care she will light up
the very heart of her cherished neighborhood once again.
The Dakota Bar will blend a whimsical, chic, and romantic decor
with upbeat music and unpretentious Upper West Side spirit and
cheer. Jennifer's full eclectic food menu served from noon to
past midnight will stir your every taste; and her extensive wine
list, craft beer, and innovative fresh seasonal cocktails will
swirl your senses.
The Dakota Bar's fun loving family of knowledgeable and
attentive staff promises to make every night an extra special
occasion, for parties large and small, to enjoy and remember.
