Hello Hello Bar<\/a>, the all-day caf\u00e9, cocktail bar and distillery in Chelsea, is going all in when it comes to coffee. After launching 11th Hour<\/a>,\u00a0a new coffee liqueur distilled in house, the team led by Luis Hernandez, Brendan Bartley and Robert Nieves drops a new cocktail menu built almost entirely around coffee, taking the daytime pick-me-up well into the night.<\/p>\n

The coffee liqueur features prominently in the new menu, from a minimalist skinny espresso martini\u201411th Hour and espresso\u2014to more complex offerings. The espresso martini latte is a reinterpreted caf\u00e9 favorite, served warm with latte foam, cocoa and nutmeg. The Last Half Pint, a rich mix of brown butter-washed Irish whiskey, PX sherry, Guinness and 11th Hour is decadent without being overwhelmingly sweet. The\u00a0Good Bunny is a Puerto Rican cross between a Banana Daiquiri and an Espresso Martini, with rum, 11th Hour, espresso, roasted banana coquito and spices. The Moshi Moshi is a silky stirred espresso martini with Toki Black, Umeshu, 11th Hour and black sesame, finished with a soy sauce malted milk foam.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoffee isn\u2019t just a flavor for us,\u201d says Hernandez, Director of Food & Beverage. \u201cIt brings structure, bitterness, acidity, and texture, which is what made it compelling enough to build an entire cocktail program around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tea expands on the caffeinated cocktail riff too. There’s the bright Granny Garibaldi with Earl Grey and green apple, or the more savory, martini-style Leaf-Tini built on Japanese green tea and olive notes.<\/p>\n

As Hello Hello is an all-day caf\u00e9, the \u201cAll Day\u201d section of the menu is just as thoughtfully curated. Each drink is designed first as a zero-proof cocktail, created with the same balance, structure and technique as any spirited option. Each drink can be accentuated with suggested spirits. Like the Mawa, a layered mix of tomato, watermelon and hibiscus, works just as well either way. The “All Night” menu shifts towards the spirit-forward.<\/p>\n

The new menu is creative and forward-thinking, but regular patrons can still enjoy the cult favorites\u2014 like Red Bull Vodka and Porn Star Daiquiri\u2014that appeared on Hello Hello’s inaugural menu, now featured in the “Legacy Cocktails” section.<\/p>\n

Hello Hello is located at 151 W 26th Street. The bar is open Monday through Wednesday, 5pm to 1am, and Thursday through Saturday, 5pm to 2am. The caf\u00e9 is open Monday through Saturday, 11am to 5pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello Hello Bar, the all-day caf\u00e9, cocktail bar and distillery in Chelsea, is going all in when it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2590,9,13928,56,63,65,64,821],"class_list":{"0":"post-180149","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-categories-restaurants","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-news-drinking","11":"tag-ny","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-nyc-headlines","14":"tag-nyc-news","15":"tag-restaurants"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
