About:
Kees in the West Village is a modern cocktail bar with a sharp nod to mid-century New York nightlife — think tailored suits, low lighting, and the kind of room where martinis matter. Helmed by Jeff Bell, managing partner of PDT, Kees channels the glamour of iconic spots like El Morocco with a drinks list that leans classic and elevated: from a $21 Classic Martini to a luxe $50 Vesper made with Tanqueray 10, Grey Goose, and Château d’Yquem. The menu also runs through polished Negronis, spritzes topped with Dom Pérignon, and playful riffs like the Beetnik with añejo tequila and beet. Food stays cocktail-forward and refined, with chilled prawns, oysters Rockefeller, beef tartare, and bar bites like Gildas and trout roe–topped chips & dip — a sophisticated throwback built for lingering.
