Nestled in the heart of the historic YMCA, a 1912 landmark designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, The Bauer blends past and present. Our menu of New American Fare creates a culinary experience that feels both fresh and balanced. The atmosphere is one of timeless comfort and modern sophistication, set beneath the building’s soaring ceilings and grand, carved wood arches. We believe in the power of connecting over a meal—in our main dining space, a plush lounge banquette, or around the bar where conversation flows. By day, the dining room is alive with coffee meetings and energizing breakfasts. By night, the bar and lounge welcome you for cocktails, wine, and beer, while our dinner service offers a chance to unwind and indulge in fresh salads, classic handhelds, and hearty entrees. For more intimate affairs, our private dining is perfect for an array of occasions, beckoning small groups to experience our contemporary fare in a memorable yet modern atmosphere.
