The King Cole Bar: A century of high society at The St. Regis<\/h1>\n

Slip through the doors of The St. Regis New York<\/a> and into the King Cole Bar, and you\u2019ll feel it instantly\u2014that quiet hum of history, the low glow of lamplight, the faint clink of glass against polished wood. Behind the bar stretches a 30-foot mural by Maxfield Parrish, its whimsical King Cole presiding over nearly a century of whispered deals, creative inspiration, and cocktail invention. For bartenders with ambitions beyond simply mixing drinks, this is hallowed ground.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”114645″ back_color_type=”uncode-solid” back_color_solid=”#f3eee7″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”154791″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”147496″ el_class=”long-question”]<\/p>\n

King Cole Bar history: From Gilded Age to Midtown icon<\/h3>\n

The history of the King Cole Bar begins with the hotel itself. In 1904, John Jacob Astor IV opened The St. Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue, aiming to combine the elegance of Europe\u2019s grand hotels with the modern luxuries of New York\u2019s Gilded Age. His mother, Caroline Astor, the undisputed queen of New York society, inspired its standard of refinement (including telephones in every room).<\/p>\n

The King Cole Bar first opened several decades later in 1932, the waning days of prohibition, and has since been a popular destination for high society. As Head Bartender Bill Dante<\/a><\/strong> puts it:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”253187″ el_class=”new-moduli-citazione-small”]<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a New York legend\u2026 as soon as Prohibition ended, it was opened here in the St. Regis and it\u2019s been popular ever since.”<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”367237″ el_class=”long-question”]<\/p>\n

The King Cole Bar mural (and its secret)<\/h3>\n

When guests walk into the King Cole Bar, their eyes inevitably go to the imposing mural. Painted by Maxfield Parrish, Old King Cole and His Fiddlers Three<\/em> was commissioned by Astor for his Knickerbocker Hotel<\/a> <\/strong>years earlier in 1906. After Astor tragically passed in the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, the mural found its permanent home above the St. Regis bar in 1932 (earning the establishment its moniker).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the mural\u2019s grandeur comes with a bit of scandal. According to one long-standing rumor, Parrish disliked working with Astor and, after much negotiation, delivered the painting with a private joke at the hotelier\u2019s expense. King Cole\u2019s face is said to be a sour likeness of Astor himself, and his courtiers, stifling their laughter, have just heard him pass gas. Whether true or not, it\u2019s a story that\u2019s been told for decades under the King\u2019s watchful (and possibly mischievous) gaze.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”180602″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”210422″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ desktop_visibility=”yes” medium_visibility=”yes” content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”412768″ back_color_type=”uncode-solid” back_color_solid=”#f3eee7″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”154791″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”881332″ el_class=”long-question”]<\/p>\n
