River Coyote is a wine and coffee bar on the Lower East Side. The 125-year-old space
has a rustic atmosphere with an intentional industrial design featuring exposed brick walls, dark wood floors, and a minimalist marble and Macassar wood bar.
The founder, Jay Nir, was inspired by his eclectic career path to create this new Lower East Side concept. In an interview for Bedford and Bowery he said - "I need to be a part of the new, a part of what’s coming, but at the same time I don’t want to be a part of gentrification where we’re just targeting the million-dollar-condo owners".
This Design/Build project revolves around the custom bar, designed for the all-day use of this unique concept.
The bar also has a custom-built triple fridge draught system, which offers 16 wines on tap meticulously chilled, in addition to stocking regional craft beers, cider, cold-brew and kombucha on draft. The dining and lounging area has a banquette nook opposite the marble-topped bar.
