monsieur, new york's opulent bar with 'gothic medieval' interiors, opens in the east village
Briefly

Monsieur, the latest bar opened by Baz Luhrmann and his team in New York's East Village, captures the essence of bohemian history and artistic flair. Inspired by the mythical nightlife figure Monsieur from the 1970s, the bar features lavish medieval-inspired decor with rock-and-roll elements. The dramatic ambiance is created through hand-carved walnut, stained glass, and candelabras, while embodying a narrative of past creative elite gatherings. This venue pays homage to the eccentric nightlife of downtown New York and brings back the charm of its storied past.
The interiors are a stylistic hybrid of medieval motif and rock-and-roll decadence... with hand-carved walnut millwork, stained glass windows, and a suit of armor enshrined in a glass case.
Monsieur conjures the spirit of its enigmatic namesake - a mythical 1970s nightlife impresario known only as Monsieur - while offering a space that is at once extravagant and nostalgic.
