No. 79 Bar & Terrace Is the Lower East Side's Chic New Cocktail Spot—With Charlotte Voisey Behind the Bar

2026 Update: As of October 2026, one of No. 79 Bar & Terrace’s Yelp listings marks the bar as closed, while its operator, Parched Hospitality Group, has not posted a closure notice. Check current hours before you plan a visit. The story below reflects the bar’s May 2025 opening.

A new bar has arrived on the Lower East Side—and it’s bringing more than just good drinks. No. 79 Bar & Terrace, from nightlife impresario Nur Khan, officially opens at 79 Rivington Street with a seductive blend of vintage French design, downtown energy, and sweeping skyline views. The space features a street-level bar with hydraulic hangar doors and a second-floor terrace overlooking Manhattan, wrapped in a retro-chic aesthetic that channels the golden age of cocktail culture.

Behind the drinks is acclaimed mixologist Charlotte Voisey, whose spring-to-summer cocktail menu is as elegant as it is playful. Expect polished twists on classics like the LES Spritz with Hendrick’s Gin and mint, the bold Smoke Show with mezcal and tamarind, and an Espresso Old Fashioned crafted with Michter’s Bourbon. Executive Chef Chris Skoda (formerly of Sartiano’s) complements the lineup with elevated takes on nostalgic bar bites like gourmet chicken nuggets and skewered snacks.

With a playlist curated by Khan himself and interiors decked out in moody black-and-white photography by Sante D’Orazio, No. 79 is designed to be more than just a bar—it’s a scene. Open Thursday through Saturday from 5 p.m. until late, this new spot invites locals and nightlife veterans alike to sip, snack, and soak up the LES energy with a perfectly chilled drink in hand.
