A NEW COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE LAUNCHES
BANZARBAR is a twenty seat cocktail bar on the second floor of Freemans Restaurant that opened in January 2018. The bar was inspired by early 20th Century explorers and the BANZARE Antarctic expeditions. BANZARBAR will bring exotic ingredients from world travels to a cozy retreat hidden away on New York’s Lower East Side. Freemans owner, William Tigertt, launched this concept to create a new elevated cocktail experience inside their classic New York City restaurant.

ABOUT FREEMANS RESTAURANT
In the fall of 2003, we happened upon a perfect intimate space at the end of an unused alley off the Bowery while scouting for a Halloween party spot. The party was subsequently abandoned and Freemans Restaurant was born. The idea of the restaurant was to make a masculine, clandestine, colonial American tavern where the founding fathers could have conspired and caroused while making plans for the new nation. The cuisine was also imagined to be early American: simple, rustic, and inspired by the Old World traditions from which the colonies were formed. Freemans’ classic cocktail list – heavy on American Bourbon and Rye – round out the experience. The restaurant, opened in August 2004, was expanded in 2011 when the second level private dining rooms opened, with capacity for up to 150 people. In 2018, Banzarbar a 20-seat private cocktail bar opened on the second floor.
