About Us
Bar Ambra is Union Square's lobby bar and lounge, where Italian food and beverage meets the energy of New York City. The space is designed around the simple pleasure of settling in with a great drink, whether that means a martini after work, cocktails with friends, or a leisurely afternoon at the bar.
At the heart of Bar Ambra is its beverage program, with a focus on thoughtfully crafted cocktails, Italian aperitivo culture, and a strong selection of spirits, wine, and beer. The drinks are fresh, balanced, and approachable, pairing classic techniques with contemporary touches while keeping the bar experience front and center.
The food program complements the drinks with an Italian point of view, offering familiar favorites and shareable plates designed to accompany the bar rather than overshadow it. The menu is approachable, refined, and made for lingering.
Throughout the day, Bar Ambra shifts naturally with its guests and the rhythm of the city. From morning coffee and casual daytime visits to aperitivo, after work cocktails, late night drinks, and relaxed brunches, the space is versatile without ever losing its identity.
At its core, Bar Ambra is about the bar experience: great drinks, Italian inspired food, lively energy, and a welcoming place to take a seat and stay awhile.
