Sophisticated 70s-vibe lounge serving creative cocktails & Italian bites
























"Bar Bonobo is a loungey spot in Chelsea with velvet booths, green walls and, yes, a CornStar martini (it involves popcorn). Several of their cocktails are available for $15 during their “golden hour” which goes every Monday thru Wednesday, 4-6pm." - will hartman
"Bar Bonobo is a sceney cocktail bar in Chelsea with mid-aughts pop on a booming sound system and a small dancey area towards the back. It’s a martini-drinking spot (they have several versions, including a CornStar Martini, served in a bowl of popcorn), and though the cocktails aren’t worth going out of your way, this could be a useful spot if you need a drink before dinner. There are lots of tables and bar seats up front, and the snacks—like crispy duck spring rolls with a pickled carrot salad—are better than the drinks. The Monday-Wednesday Happy Hour has a few $15 cocktails, and the music eventually transitions to a less grating, Khruangbin-centric playlist. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
"A new cocktail bar in Chelsea, Bar Bonobo channels the decadence of 1970s Italian disco mixed with New York City sensibilities." - Emma Orlow
