Miss Manhattan

Newstead

Updated: Sep 18, 2025

Miss Manhattan is an exquisite bar and dining room where old world New York meets designer industrial chic in a side street of Newstead.

Occupying the spacious high-ceilinged warehouse and courtyard which used to be The Matriarch, Miss Manhattan is a vision of beauty and pared-back elegance.

Step through the iron gates at the street and through the ornate metal archway to the gorgeous chandelier-lit main bar area. Take a seat at one of the marble tables with gold metal chairs, relax in one of the leather couches or grab a stool at the bar.
