Don't expect to find a list of mocktails at Kosmic Community Anti Bar, now in soft-open mode at 115 Avenue C between Seventh Street and Eighth Street.
Owner and East Village resident James Lockwood (below middle with business partners Tyler Garrett and Apostolos Filippas) said they are "not big on mocktails," instead opting for a full coffee bar with drink specials including Italian sodas, hibiscus vanilla teas, yerba mate, fruit presses and juice options.
In the future, Lockwood plans to offer some live music ... and possibly a food menu.
But first things first: The official grand opening is coming in about a month.
For now, the daily hours are 10 a.m. to midnight, possibly later on weekends "if people want to stay."
