We’ve received a tip that Oxbow Tavern has closed its location at 240 Columbus Avenue, between 71st and 72nd Streets (thanks to ‘Upper West Sider.’)
The approximately 2,000 square foot space is now on the market for $195 per square foot per year, which would come out to $390,000 per year (or $32,500 per month). The listing website indicates that it was first put on the market on May 25th.
Oxbow Tavern’s website currently states that they are only temporarily closed. They have not announced anything about a permanent closing on their social media pages either.
We reached out to the restaurant owners, the listing brokers, and the building landlord. Earlier today, the landlord, Joshua Salon of Salon Realty, did in fact confirm that Oxbow Tavern has permanently closed, and that they are in talks with other restaurants who may be interested in the space.
Oxbow Tavern first opened in February 2018, with Cafe Talullah preceding them. The chef was Tom Valenti, who was formerly at Ouest.

Disgraceful that so many businesses have been lost. If diBlasio was booted from Office, this should improve considerably!
Why is it DiBlasio’s fault?
There were so many federal loans & grants to help small businesses. Not that those programs could do everything, but this was a huge health crisis that I think was handled pretty well. Hindsight is 20/20

I want to see who’s going to pay $1k/day for the rent there
Could have been related to their very pricey menu.
I’m devastated. This was the best restaurant in the neighborhood.
Yeah, it is indeed “devastating”. I mean this is really, really bad news.
Perhaps choose your words a bit more appropriately? Whaddya say?
