Bar Métier is a French-style bar in the former law library of the old City Hall Annex, mixing up creative cocktails accompanied by small plates. This voluptuous Warehouse District cocktail lounge is discreetly located next to the Maison Métier hotel, but the over-the-top interior — tiger-skin-patterned carpets and bar stools, red lacquered walls inset with well-stocked bookshelves, a tangerine-hued ceiling — is joyously bold. The cocktails are stellar, the bar food runs from deviled eggs to caviar, and guests at the hotel have access to a semi-secret private room. All that’s missing is you!
