Bar Bas is an intimate hidden cocktail lounge in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, located beneath Marseille brasserie and led by Chef Driven Hospitality, the family-owned group created by Simon Oren. Built on the memories of midnight rounds at Réunion, and opening night parties at The Friki Tiki, Bar Bas draws inspiration from the laid-back atmosphere and design of 1970s French bars. This Marseille After Dark offers unique underground soirées and resident DJs on weekends. Aviram Turgeman, Chef Driven’s Beverage Director—who has received the Wine Spectator Grand Award of Excellence for over 10 consecutive years at Nice Matin—and Bar Bas Manager Erik Antonacci created a cocktail menu featuring 10 French-inspired seasonal variations on classics. Bar Bas also serves Marseille's Champagne and wine list. Early in the evening, theatergoers can enjoy a prix-fixe menu before Broadway’s curtains go up, created by Culinary Managing Partner, Andy D'Amico, and Executive Chef Xavier Monge. As the night moves on and the lights dim, the room fills with cocktail enthusiasts enjoying drinks, while savoring French-inspired small plates.
