Bar of the Week: BTH on the West Side of Harlem

BTH (By The Hudson) offers incredible views of the Hudson River, a great beverage program and terrific dining. They are located on West 125th Street in Harlem, a popular restaurant district in New York City.

BTH is easy to reach by subway, cab, bus or car with free parking right next door offered to their guests. They feature an atmosphere that is absolutely stunning. Their distinctive modern décor features a wave wall that subtly changes colors and illuminates the restaurant and lounge with dramatic colors and natural hues. The interior ambiance is a perfect complement to the restaurant's waterfront location.

BTH's circular bar is the ideal spot for enjoying drinks and the view, but also offers the comfort to enjoy small plates or a full meal. We like the inventive cocktails (all $14) with mixes to suit many tastes. A few of our favorites are the Harlem Blues made with Jack Honey, fresh blackberries and mint and their Antique BTH with Bulleit Bourbon, sage leaves, pear nectar and lime juice.

Sommelier, Chris Sapienza can help you make the best wine choice for your party or suggest champagne that is available by the bottle. There is also a great selection of craft beer ($8 glass) like Shiner Black Lager or Southampton Burton IPA.

Try some of Executive Chef Carlos Cartagena's small plates to pair with your drinks or plan to stay for a delicious dinner. Their fall menu includes some new specialties along with customer favorites.

Stop by with friends and colleagues for the BTH Happy Hour with specials from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Monday to Friday. One visit to BTH will never be enough.

BTH is also available for special occasion bookings. They serve lunch, dinner and weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Al fresco seating is available in the nice weather. For more information, menus and to contact BTH, visit their web site at www.bythehudson.com or call 212-222-BTH1.
