Premiere Enterprises is excited to announce a new and distinctly downtown Manhattan cocktail bar & lounge.

Located in the heart of the Lower East Side, Tigre plays on the juxtaposition of material and mood; of disparate influences that coalesce into a new authenticity. Much like the artistic and cultural diversity of the LES, it is a space where two stories can be true at once; old yet new. Bold yet understated. Modern yet timeless. Raw, but also refined. The grit and grime of downtown Manhattan are placed squarely in the cross-hares of Tigre’s stylized, gilded, glamour; the electric energy found in the clubs of lower NYC, crossbred with the luxe material story of a well-heeled private residence. Walls are sleekly covered in microsuede and polished steel, chairs and couches wear jacquard velvet, and tortoiseshell appears in several finishes—all in choreographed contrast with the raw, industrial textures of chain metal, copper and nickel. 

Cocktails will be sophisticated but contemporary, with offerings ranging from known classics to LES-inspired nouveau hits. 

Tigre encapsulates the platonic duality of the LES; one foot in the future, one foot in the past, but with a steady, studied understanding of contemporary style and glamour.
