La Gran Inauguración

The Grand Opening

Something special has been aging behind our doors, and the barrel finally gets tapped. Música in the room, cocktails poured with intention, and a corner of West 25th that has been waiting a long time for this night. Traigan a su gente — bring your people.

    A quiet corner: the tall clock against the white brick wall.

    Se abren las puertas

    Doors open

    The doors on West 25th open at noon. Come early, look up at the pressed tin, and pick your seat before the block finds out.

  2. 1:00de la tarde

    Bartenders working the bar while guests wait on the other side.

    La primera ronda

    The first round

    The bar starts pouring the opening list. Agave, ron, and the palomas we have been arguing about all summer.

    Guests packed in around the bar, a panama hat in the foreground.

    La casa llena

    The room fills

    Neighbors, family, and whoever walked past and heard the music. This is the hour the room stops feeling new.

  4. 5:30de la tarde

    Two guests at a table in the red velvet chairs, flowers between them.

    Sobremesa

    The long sit

    The afternoon slows down. Take a table, order something cold, and stay a while longer than you planned.

  5. 7:30de la noche

    A singer at the microphone in a panama hat, guitar strap over his shoulder.

    Música en vivo

    Live music

    A guitar in the corner and a singer at the microphone, close enough to hear the strings.

  6. 10:00de la noche

    Two guests dancing close on the checkerboard floor, the room full behind them.

    La última tanda

    The last set

    The lights come down, the floor opens up, and the room keeps going until we close at eleven.

Los horarios se mueven con la noche. Times are approximate. Come when you can, stay as long as you like.
