"Bar Sótano is the name of the new basement bar that Rick and Lanie Bayless are opening underneath Frontera Grill. The bar's beverage director is Lanie Bayless, Rick’s daughter. The bar could open next month as a media preview is scheduled for mid-November. The bar's name originates from the Spanish word for 'basement'. The Baylesses announced the bar in June, aiming for a November opening. The bar stands out for its use of unique herbs in drinks, specifically 'botanical agave cocktails'. Further details about these herbs are not yet available. Chef Rishi Manoj Kumar, a native Singaporean and Frontera’s private events chef, is mentioned as the bar’s chef." - Ashok Selvam
