Much fanfare surrounded the Roslyn expansion of Manhattan’s TBar in 2024. No expense was spared on the stunning design and the food was great, but would the gamble on the suburbs work? Unfortunately for Roslyn diners, TBar closed earlier this week.
The swank spot, owned by Derek Axelrod, is "closed for good," he said Thursday. "Roslyn just was a difficult market for us, being a city concept with business daily. Suburbs are all about the weekend business. Totally different," he said.
TBar in Roslyn’s menu was based on the city location and included high-level steaks like a 40-ounce porterhouse and an 8-ounce filet, herb grilled branzino and soy-wasabi crusted tuna. There was even spaghetti and meatballs and sushi; Long Island additions included pizza from the space’s brick oven. The bar, a dark, moody space, excelled in the art of the jalapeño cucumber margarita.
No word on what will next occupy the space, but that business will inherit an elegant dining room that complements the bar with a rich, creamy palette and a velvet-paneled upstairs lounge.

Fret not, TBar fans: You can still get your fix at the brand’s two other locations, in Southampton and Manhattan, which are going strong. "The city TBar is open. And South will be open in mid-May" for the 2026 Hamptons season, Axelrod said.
