Dating back to 1885, Keens is imbued with a palpable sense of history that sets it apart from the average midtown chophouse. A collection of dining rooms build the setting, each arranged with dark wood furnishings, linen-draped tables, and chock-full of Gilded Age charisma. A vestige of Keens' men-only, smoker's club days is displayed in their collection of long-stemmed, clay churchwarden pipes lining the ceiling. Mouthwatering slabs of broiled meat star here; and the hand-selected prime cuts of beef are dry-aged in house. Icy platters of juicy oysters and bananas Foster are classic bookends to any feast. The Pub Room offers lighter fare, and the bar pours one of the most extensive selections of single malt Scotch around.
