Exclusive: John Fraser opens Bar Tontine rooftop at The Wall Street Hotel
And things will be similarly French accented on the food and drink menu. To kick off rooftop season, the bar concept has partnered with La Fête du Rosé and Fever-Tree on “refreshing cocktails that taste like summer in the South of France” as well as a variety of hand-selected French wines by the glass and bottle, says Amy Racine, Beverage Director and Partner of JF Restaurants. Guests can build their own sparkling cocktails with their favorite spirit, Fever-Tree mixers and an array of garnishes, or pick from the cocktail menu, which includes signature quaffs like the Fête Tropez (Milagro Blanco Tequila, Fête du Rosé, watermelon and grapefruit), and Cherie Amore (The Botanist Gin, lemon, sparkling rosé and Chambord foam).
Among the “elevated snacking items,” you’ll find a selection of freshly shucked oysters, meatballs with rosé marmalade, sausage-stuffed cremini mushrooms, crudité and charcuterie to complement the beverage offerings.
“With The Wall Street Hotel’s sleek design and our refined approach to French bar food, we want patrons of Bar Tontine to feel completely immersed in laid-back luxury,” says Fraser. “We’ve meticulously crafted every aspect of this concept to provide our guests with an elevated escape from the bustling streets below.
Bar Tontine will be open Wednesdays through Fridays from 4pm to 10pm, and Saturdays from 1pm to 10pm. Reservations will be available for indoor table service via Resy; walk-ins will be accepted at the bar and outdoor terrace on a first-come, first-serve basis.
