Bisous

Bisous is a neighborhood cocktail bar designed in the style of a classic French hotel lounge kissed by time. Opulent finishes like sumptuous velvet and rich hardwood become casual and approachable when paired with perfectly imperfect tiles, mismatched rugs and a heavy dose of 1960s Paris.  Stylish without trying to be, luxurious but never pretentious, Bisous’ welcoming charm invites after-work happy hours, pre-dinner drinks, and nightcaps when you just don’t want the night to end.

Inside the storefront windows, a curved banquette is upholstered in velvet print, opposite a wall clad in subway tile, watercolored grass cloth, and a white oak drink rail. The round-arched bar face is surrounded by mosaic tile flooring.  Twin soffits above the bar and the Pullman booths create a path for oversized sphere pendants. Both the walls and drop ceiling of the rear lounge are clad in a larger-than-life peony print wallcovering.
