Bar Adore

Where Music, Wine, and Korean Flavors Meet

Tucked away in New York City’s East Village, Bar Adore is more than just a bar—it’s a vinyl-listening lounge, a natural wine haven, and a destination for Asian-inspired small plates. Since its opening in October 2024, it has quickly become a beloved spot for those seeking a cozy, intimate atmosphere paired with a unique culinary experience.

The space captures the nostalgic charm of a Japanese kissaten (classic vinyl café), where guests can unwind to carefully curated records while enjoying natural wines and a selection of elevated Korean dishes. Whether you’re a music lover, a foodie, or simply someone looking for an ambient bar with great vibes, Bar Adore delivers an experience that feels both nostalgic and modern.

A Korean-Inspired Menu with a Twist

While Bar Adore is known for its impressive vinyl collection and natural wines, the food menu is equally compelling. The kitchen focuses on Korean-inspired small plates that pair perfectly with drinks, making it a standout in NYC’s evolving bar scene.

Must-Try Dishes

✅ Shrimp Katsu Sando

A crispy shrimp cutlet sandwiched between soft milk bread, topped with tangy house-made sauce. This dish is a perfect balance of crunch and creaminess, making it one of the most popular items on the menu.

✅ Tteokkochi (Korean Rice Cake Skewers)

A Korean street food favorite, featuring chewy rice cakes grilled and coated in a rich, spicy-sweet sauce. Perfect for pairing with a glass of wine.

✅ Korean-style Pork Cutlet (Donkkaseu)

A juicy, breaded pork cutlet, deep-fried to golden perfection and served with a side of house-made tonkatsu sauce. A comforting classic with a refined touch.

Of course, these dishes are best enjoyed alongside Bar Adore’s expertly curated selection of natural wines. Whether you’re sipping a chilled pét-nat or a deep-bodied red, the food and drink pairings here feel effortless and elevated.
