Book a reservation atBar Chimera

Bar Chimera is a Midtown Manhattan brasserie centered around three distinct bar programs: martini, whiskey, and wine, each focused on best-in-class expressions. The martini bar honors classic cocktail culture with precision and subtle creativity, the whiskey bar offers a deep library of rare and everyday pours, and the wine bar features a dynamic selection, including 42 wines by the glass. The food menu complements the beverage program with brasserie staples like Chicken Paillard and the 550 Burger, alongside smaller plates such as Crispy Octopus and Foie Gras Home-Run Balls. At the heart of the experience is Dinner at Chimera, a banchan-style spread of shared hors d'oeuvres followed by individually selected entrées. Set in a storied Midtown space at 550 Madison, Bar Chimera reimagines the classic bar as a place where drinking and dining are equally celebrated.
