Located at 42 Central Park South, NYC, Mickey Mantle's Restaurant opened
in 1988. Inside, the decor of sports
memorabilia and art made Mantle's one
of the more popular sports bars in the
city. As stated on the bottom of the
menu; "Many of the works of art on
display are available for purchase.
Please ask your waiter or waitress for
further information." Before checking
into the Betty Ford Clinic in 1994, the
year before the slugger passed away,
Mantle was often spotted schmoozing and
sharing a cocktail with fans inside his
namesake restaurant. The restaurant
grossing $3.9 million its first year,
closed in 2012, due to increasing food
prices, shifting city regulations and
landlord interference.
Smaller in size than the
popular Mickey Mantle Burton Silverman dinner menu, the 5.75" x 11" Yankee blue tri-fold
lunch menu features the restaurant's
logo; with Mickey Mantle's facsimile
signature in white, below the famed
Yankee Stadium facade, and "LUNCH" at
the bottom. Inside the menu features
the usual Appetizers, side dishes, main
courses, a Little League menu (children
portions), deserts, and Beverages.
Mantle's favorite dish on the menu, as
befitting an Oklahoma boy, was
chicken-fried steak. Using the same
blue cover design, dinner menus and
wine lists were also produced.
