Located at 79 Rivington Street (entrance to the hotel is via 139 Orchard Street), No. 79 Bar & Terrace brings downtown edge and refined craft to the Lower East Side nightlife scene. As part of The Merchant Hotel, this venue is full of sophistication and a neighborhood attitude.

The cocktail program is driven by master mixology, combining fresh seasonal ingredients with elevated riffs on classic drinks. You’ll find both signature creations and familiar favorites in the lineup.

The space itself balances indoor comfort and outdoor freedom: a sleek interior bar gives way to a terrace (open weather permitting) for evening lounging. The architecture and décor incorporate bold visuals—walls are accented with striking photographic art, lending a distinctive character to the venue.

Its flexibility, combined with elevated drinks and a downtown aesthetic, has made it a go-to for locals, creatives, and visitors seeking a more intimate but stylish night out in NYC.
