North Bar,<\/a> the charming cocktail bar on Greenwich and Desbrosses, is closing for the summer and reopening this fall with a new name and a new concept, they announced on Instagram. Thursday was the cocktail bar\u2019s last night. More from owner Stacey Sosa when we have a chance to chat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next chapter begins this fall,\u201d they wrote. \u201cTo everyone who has shared a drink, celebrated a milestone, stopped in after work, or made North Bar part of your story, thank you. You\u2019ve made these last four years unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Bar opened four years ago at 458 Greenwich, when Stacey Sosa pivoted from the idea of retirement to doubling down on North Tribeca. She and her longtime manager at Estancia 460, Katie Leonard, took the space next door and incorporated Fish Tails, d\/b\/a North Bar in late 2023.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She originally had the idea for a cocktail bar a decade before that, but the idea languished while life moved on. Stacey moved to Argentina in 2016 for a couple years while Katie ran Estancia; then when Stacey returned, Katie moved onto Lure Fishbar in Soho to spread her wings a bit and Stacey\u2019s son Elias stepped in at Estancia.<\/p>\n

Then came covid, and Katie reached out to resurrect the idea. By then The Greek had moved its operations to Greca, its sister restaurant on Washington, and the space just on the other side of the party wall was empty. Plus Fouquet\u2019s hotel was nearing completion, and Stacey could imagine what would eventually happen at #458.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis space would have become a Bobby Flay vehicle or something like that,\u201d Stacey said. \u201cI\u2019d rather compete against myself and keep Estancia alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It all came together quickly, thanks, she says, to the talented people she knows in the neighborhood. Her friend of 21 years, Al Abayan, who has RE:AL<\/a>\u00a0on Laight, designed the space. Another pal, photographer and designer\u00a0Julia Blaukopf<\/a>, took old photos of the neighborhood and made the fabulous wallpaper (I *still* want some). A long-time Estancia customer, Alex Spagnolo from Stone Gallery<\/a>\u00a0in Brooklyn, installed the microcement bar and walls and supplied the marble for the caf\u00e9 tables.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a Tribeca collaboration that made our dream come true,\u201d Stacey said, \u201ca labor of love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopefully those same labors will play out in the next iteration.
