BarChef opened a New York location at 21 W 35th St, 3rd floor, serving cocktails priced at $43. The venue is the first U.S. expansion of a Toronto-based cocktail bar founded in 2008 and involves Frankie Solarik, known for applying culinary techniques to cocktails and appearing as a judge on Netflix's "Drink Masters." Owners Mino Habib and Mathias Van Leyden partnered with Solarik to launch the Midtown spot in June. The compact, hallway-like space features two bars, sunken white leather couches, marble tables, reddish-and-white stone walls, live greenery and a retractable roof with an Empire State Building view.
We certainly didn't sneeze at the price when it crawled to $12. But at $15, our wallets definitely took notice. And now that cocktails have tipped over the $20-mark, budgeting before going out is basically a requirement. But now there is a new bar in New York here to blow a hole through the whole damn thing. Coming to market with showstopping cocktails is (21 W 35th St, 3rd floor), serving them at the showstopping price of $43.
BarChef marks the first expansion for the Canada-based cocktail bar, initially established in Toronto back in 2008. Recently featured as a judge on Netflix's "Drink Masters," Solarik has been recognized by The New York Times as a "Legendary Experimentalist" when it comes toward cocktails, introducing techniques gleaned from the culinary world to the glass. Owners of Loulou Petit, Mino Habib and Mathias Van Leyden, worked with Solarik to bring his bar international with the New York location opening this past June.
Find the entry and climb up the stairs, bypassing the unlimited Wagyu steak restaurant, Niku X, on the ground floor. Once you arrive on the third floor, you'll find that the bar is no bigger than a long hallway, albeit a glamorous one with sunken white leather couches, ample-sized marble tables and reddish and white stone walls flush with live greenery that nearly climbs to the glass ceiling.
