Located in the ultra-posh St. Regis Hotel, the centerpiece of the King Cole Bar is a mural by Maxfield Parish painted in 1906; it sits above the bar, confidently depicting Old King Cole. Legend has it that this is the birthplace of the Bloody Mary. Despite its historic roots, the bar boasts a young, fairly hip after-work scene. It is also one of the most expensive bars in the city, so be careful what you order.
