Tribeca’s Tiny New Retro Lounge

A new Summer calls for new nightlife.

Get it all packed into the smallest lounge in Manhattan at Smith & Mills.

So tiny that you might just miss it, this new Tribeca spot is marked by a single antique bulb with the street number “71″ painted in bright red. It’s a hint of what’s inside - what this bar lacks in space it more than makes up for in detail. Cozy wrap-around banquettes are surrounded by turn of the century architectural drawings and fixtures, including decades-old hardhats.

The wall length bar features authentic apothecary bottles and hardware. But it’s the bathroom that’s the signature piece: built into the building’s original freight elevator car. The owners of Smith & Mills salvaged the car and decorated every inch - from the original door on sliding hinges, to wrought iron work, and even added an antique, foldable train car sink.

Expect the same level of attention in the lounge’s offerings, too. The fully stocked bar includes a menu featuring homemade canned and preserved foods, and a Summer perfect picnic lunch complete with chicken and sides.

Let the season begin.

Smith & Mills opens this Thursday.
