XR Bar at ARTECHOUSE
Nestled beneath Chelsea Market at 439 W 15th St, XR Bar @ ARTECHOUSE brings a groundbreaking twist to New York nightlife. More than a cocktail lounge, it’s the nation’s first Extended Reality Bar, seamlessly blending art, tech, and flavors. Each handcrafted cocktail or mocktail—think spiced Negroni variants or butterfly-pea-color-changing concoctions—is paired with a digital art activation via the free ARTECHOUSE app. As you sip, your drink bursts into motion on your phone screen—animated visuals like floating particles or even a digital you morphing into impressionist art, thanks to live camera inputs and AI filters . A multi-sensory journey, the XR experience transforms the act of drinking into both a personal and shareable art moment. Cocktails are around $17, mocktails $10, and beer or wine also available ($5–$18 price range). Crafted with all-natural ingredients and culinary technique, they push traditional mixology into avant-garde territory. Open during exhibit hours (Mon–Thu 3–7:45 pm, Fri–Sat 11 am–9:45 pm, Sun 11 am–6:45 pm) , XR Bar is ideal for art lovers, tech enthusiasts, and cocktail connoisseurs. Accessible included with exhibit ticket or by itself (book in advance), it’s a sensory fusion that turns a simple night out into an unforgettable, digital-art-infused adventure.
