Cocktails Meet a Theater Prix Fixe in Midtown
Gather over pre-show bites, with a quieter back space for groups beyond the main bar.
🍸 Before the Curtain
The Independent pairs creative cocktails with a theater prix fixe menu just outside the busiest Midtown hubs. At 147 West 40th Street in the Garment District, this snug retreat makes room for dinner before a show and a nightcap after the curtain falls.
Groups have a quieter back space away from the main bar area, and the team handles separate checks. Lunch meetings give way to after work drinks as the day unfolds, with a relaxed pace that leaves room for conversation between rounds. A burger and draft beer special is available for 20 dollars.
The doors open from half past eleven AM to midnight on Monday, half past eleven AM to 1 AM Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 PM to midnight on Sunday. A weekend detour has its own draw, with half a dozen oysters and a glass of sparkling wine offered together for 20 dollars every Friday through Sunday.
