The Crosby Bar in SoHo
The Crosby Bar is the art-filled, all-day brasserie inside Firmdale’s Crosby Street Hotel, tucked on a cobblestoned block off Lafayette in the heart of SoHo. Designed by Kit Kemp, the room pairs a long pewter bar and tall warehouse windows with an ivy-laden terrace, and it serves modern American plates from breakfast through a late cocktail menu that runs until 1am.
It functions as both a serious cocktail bar and a restaurant, doing brisk business in weekend brunch, an elegant Champagne-and-caviar afternoon tea, and pre-theatre dinners. Signature drinks like the Eden and the Peppers & Peach sit alongside bar snacks such as crispy calamari and a mozzarella-and-basil flatbread. The bar is walk-in only and the dress code is smart casual.
What to Expect
The Crosby Bar does not run a public happy hour. The hotel does offer a daily ‘Crosby Hour’ from 5 to 6pm with complimentary Champagne and chef-made canapes, but that perk is reserved for in-house hotel guests only, so walk-in visitors should expect full luxury-hotel pricing on food and cocktails.
The Room
A light, high-ceilinged Kit Kemp-designed brasserie with a long pewter bar, gray oak floors, tall warehouse windows, and a shady, ivy-laden terrace that opens for outdoor dining. Lively and sophisticated, it draws a mix of hotel guests, SoHo shoppers, and downtown regulars from morning coffee to a nightcap.
