Bar Cosme is opening its doors in New York City today. The opening will bring a combination of contemporary Mexican food and cocktails to the neighborhood. It will offer locals a new cocktail and late-night dining experience.
Chef Enrique Olvera’s Bar Cosme Opens in NYC’s NoHo
Bar Cosme is a new restaurant and cocktail bar that is opening at 372 Lafayette Street on November 10. It will take over the space previously occupied by Atla, which was another Mexican restaurant from Olvera. The concept closed in May 2026 after operating for nearly nine years.
According to an Eater New York report, the new restaurant is designed as an extension of Olvera’s Cosme in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. However, it will have its own identity, with a greater focus on cocktails, dinner, and late-night dining.
Enrique Olvera is a Mexican chef known for his contemporary approach to Mexican cuisine. Olvera is the chef behind Mexico City’s Pujol and Manhattan’s Cosme. His hospitality group, Casamata, operates several restaurant concepts in the United States and Mexico.
The 40-seat restaurant features an open kitchen built around a central comal, a traditional Mexican griddle used to cook tortillas. Mexico City-based architecture studio Taller ADG designed the interiors, incorporating stainless steel, walnut, and black granite. The dining destination will open daily from 5 p.m. to midnight.
