Designed to feel like you're getting your drinks served to you from a time we only catch glimpses of in black and white photographs, Oldfield's on the Westside is the change of pace you've been looking for. With a casual outdoor patio with intimate seating, and perfectly crafted cocktails, this spot is torn right out of a Hemmingway novel. After soaking up this place's atmosphere, and sipping its delightfully infused drinks, you'll be ready to add it to your weekly bar rotation.
Part old school 1930's doctor's office, part 50's malt shop, Oldfield's carries the perfect remedy to your played out Saturday nights. Going with a totally different, and altogether classic vibe, Oldfield's attracts the kind of people that can truly appreciate an era when men wore suspenders without being ironic. A bit of a sanctuary for those that want to shuffle off the everyday, Oldfield's offers a unique type of experience to patrons. Designed for intimacy (you won't find much walking room in between communal tables and the bar), this spot feels like it's straight from the early 20th century. The walls are speckled with little white subway tiles, while sheer neutral drapes line the windows, and antique mirrors are hung behind the bar. You'll even notice a few picnic baskets and a milk jug. Playing the part of a Mr. Gower-type drugstore owner, the bartenders all don bowties and newsboy caps. The no-fuss pre-technology era is evident in their menu too. While others bombard patrons with tons of complicated specialty drinks, Oldfield's prefers to keep it old school here too, offering up no-frills hard liquor drinks. While other venues invent insane drinks to draw in crowds, Oldfield's knows that the true key to a perfect cocktail is having the perfect liquor. With a steady hand, their bartenders serve up uncomplicated old-school drinks that would please even the most old-fashioned benefactor. There are also tables on their outdoor patio where small groups like to breathe in the fresh air as they sip their bourbon and immerse themselves in the old Americana glow.
