Intimate speakeasy-style cigar lounge operating three nights a week

Bar Aristide is the smaller speakeasy-style cigar lounge, overseen by Angelo Forte and normally open only Thursday-Saturday from 6pm-1am. It remains seasonally closed through September 10, 2026, so guests arriving before the reopening should use Bar Josephine instead. When operating, its food menu runs from 6-10:45pm. This is a bar and cigar lounge, not a separate dinner restaurant, and its restricted three-night calendar matters when planning a short stay.
