Nai Tapas Bar has announced its plans to move this summer from its spot of eight years at 174 First Ave. between 10th Street and 11th Street...
... to 85 Second Ave. at Fifth Street,
the former home of Bareburger.
The owners of Nai Tapas Bar will appear before CB3's SLA committee tonight for a new liquor license at Second Avenue. (You can find their questionnaire online
here.)
Their proposed hours are 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday; until midnight on Friday-Saturday. The Sunday hours are listed as 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The configuration shows 35 tables seating 111 people. (There's also a five-seat bar.)
There isn't any mention on the questionnaire if Nai will continue on with their
live flamenco shows, which happen twice a night on Thursdays and Saturdays. As one block association leader said, "The show is amplified, and in its current form could be disruptive if performed on the second floor of 85 Second Ave." According to the Nai Tapas Bar questionnaire on the CB3 website, "noise will be carefully monitored." (This comment is not specifically referencing the flamenco shows — rather the overall ambiance.)
The CB3-SLA meeting is tonight at 6:30 in the Public Hotel, 17th Floor, Sophia Room, 215 Chrystie St. between Houston and Stanton.
