Filé Gumbo Bar

"A Cajun and Creole gumbo bar in Tribeca, New York, offering customizable gumbo bowls based on personal preferences." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Opened last May, File Gumbo Bar concentrates on gumbo, with any combination of shrimp, andouille, chicken, and crab; as well as po’ boys of shrimp and fried oysters. A few other classics are also available, and don’t miss the freshly fried potato chips with a remoulade dip." - Robert Sietsema

"A fun bar with a lively soundtrack, making gumbo fresh on the bar. Offers dishes like crawfish bread and jambalaya." - Melissa McCart

"Pecking House @ Filé Gumbo Bar / January 26-27; 4-10pm Fried chicken and gumbo—but spicy as hell. This collab between Pecking House and Filé Gumbo Bar promises to emphasize spice on their fully original Southern-inspired collaboration. They’ll be serving a special “Meat and Three" menu with Pecking House’s famous chili fried chicken, Filé’s crawfish mac & cheese, and more. The event is happening at Filé; make your reservations here. " - Neha Talreja

"This Tribeca Cajun-Creole bar features a signature gumbo ($29) that starts with a rich roux made with duck and chicken fat, adds long grain Louisiana rice along with crab and shrimp, then sprinkles file (sassafras) powder over it like fairy dust." - Robert Sietsema
