PEBBLE BAR
NEW YORK CITY / OPENED 2022
Pebble Bar opened in February 2022 in a legendary townhouse at Rockefeller Center. The bar comes from partners, friends, and longtime New Yorkers Matt Kliegman, Carlos Quirarte, Matthew Charles, Noah Bernamoff, and Julian Brizzi — whose award-winning hospitality projects include The Smile, The Georgia Room, The Jane Ballroom, Grand Army, Celestine, Ray’s, Rucola and Black Seed Bagels — and John and Christine Gachot of AD100 design firm Gachot Studios, whose projects include Glossier’s Soho flagship boutique, Marc Jacobs’ West Village townhouse, and Detroit’s Shinola Hotel.
JAC’s ON BOND
NEW YORK CITY / OPENED 2023
From the team that brought New York City’s Pebble Bar, Ray's, and Georgia Room, comes a new neighborhood watering hole, Jac’s on Bond. Located in a landmark 1831 townhouse amongst the iconic cobblestones of NoHo’s Bond Street, the tucked-in haunt has centuries of history with a storied past that intertwines a variety of commerce with creatives, hooligans, gambling, and progressive protests. Jac’s on Bond takes shape in the former home of The Smile, an Authentic Hospitality cafe (est. 2009) where the group laid roots and built a community of loyal regulars and friends, including the beloved ‘Mayor of Bond Street,’ Jack Champlin. For over 60 years, Champlin was the cornerstone of his neighborhood and the personification of what it means to be a true New Yorker; Jac’s on Bond is named lovingly in homage to his enigmatic presence and kind-hearted, downtown spirit.
