Our house cocktail menu is inspired by seasonal moods, botanicals, fresh juices, in-house infusions, and whatever flavors are exciting us at the moment. The wine list is largely bio-dynamic or organic, with an emphasis on natural wines from South America. We aim to have a little bit of something for everyone - whether folks are looking for an easy after work beer, an N/A house-brewed Jamaica tea with lime and vanilla, or a knock-you-down martini.

ABOUT

The Francis Kite Club is a bar and cultural forum in the East Village of Manhattan founded by friends and co-conspirators. The Kite hosts a range of activities, including live music, art, performance, workshops, and other special convenings. The effort reflects - our desire to escape the norms of our professional and social trenches, and come together to think, share and have a good time. 

Tuck yourself into a booth to sew, join a figure drawing session or draw on your own, meet for conversation with friends and comrades or read a book in the late afternoon light.
