Bar centrale V&V In Nepi

This is a great, discrete cocktail bar in the theater district. There are no signs outside and it’s up a stoop, so you have to know it’s there. As a result, it’s not crowded. As someone who lives locally and goes to the theater a lot, I’ve been searching for a bar in the area that isn’t a generic pub. This place has a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Took my granddaughter and a friend to MSG for a concert, my son and daughter-in-law tagged along. Neither of them is comfortable driving in the city, hence my chauffer's duties. Where to kill some time while waiting? We found ourselves in the Theater District, and I found this gem. My son was dressed from work, my DIL and I in much more casual clothes but we were made to feel right at home. A few small plates and some cocktails, a lovely space and really nice staff. My wife and I like to hit a few shows a year and this will be a stop before or after. Our server suggested calling about a week prior for a rez and said if you tell them which show you're seeing they'll know when to book you in; very helpful. Bar Centrale made our evening!
