Bar Nena

Accessed by an unmarked flight of stairs, this basement cocktail bar sits beneath Jajaja Plantas Mexicana in the West Village and seats 50 people. The moody, candlelit interior features original stone walls, curved velvet banquettes, terracotta tiles, and a sleek copper bar. It serves Mexico City-inspired cocktails alongside Latin rhythms, though the space is small, tightly reservation-dependent, and often very crowded.
