A 32 Seat Cocktail Lounge Beneath MoMA
Sip to a high fidelity soundtrack behind a red door on West 53rd Street.
🎵 Behind the Red Door
BA53MENT starts with a red door at 53 West 53rd Street in Manhattan. Beyond it, a lounge with just 32 seats sits beneath MoMA. For your next round of drinks, skip the sprawling bar plan and make an evening out of somewhere intimate.
Craft cocktails share the bill with live performances and high fidelity sound, giving the music a role beyond background accompaniment. Settle in with a glass and pay attention to what is playing. The space also doubles as a private event venue, an option for a gathering with a guest list of its own.
Entry is restricted to people 21 and over. Opening hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 6 PM to 11 PM, with Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday closed. Choose a midweek evening when getting everyone together, and keep those closed days out of the group chat.
