The Please Don’t Tell team is planning to open its multi-concept project at One Cornelia this summer, according to the One Cornelia website. They have now revealed the name behind the third concept joining agave bar Mixteca and California-based taco brand Tacos 1986. Seek Kees will be a cocktail bar, completing the trio of concepts at the address.
The team released the logo and name earlier this month, featuring an old-fashioned key on a rich green background.
The cocktail bar will have 50 seats and will take over the underground space at the address, with plans to feature a menu with classic cocktails such as martinis and Manhattans, according to Eater NY.
Jeff Bell is heading up the project at One Cornelia, which has been in the process of taking shape throughout the year. Bell has been part of the Please Don’t Tell team since 2010, after the speakeasy opened up inside Crif Dogs in 2007.
Each aspect of the multi-concept unit at One Cornelia is expected to fill a different niche. While Mixteca will focus on drinks such as tequila and mezcal, Seek Kees will be a nod to the classic cocktail bar experience. Hailing from Los Angeles, Tacos 1986 will fill the need for a food element, offering items like tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
