Clemente Bar: Art, Design & Hospitality Converge in New York

Clemente Bar is an intimate and sophisticated cocktail lounge nestled above the legendary Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan, New York. Conceived by Allied Works Architects in collaboration with renowned lighting design studio L’Observatoire International, the space brings together architectural finesse, artistic expression, and culinary flair. Inspired by timeless art bars such as Kronenhalle in Zürich, it celebrates social connection, creativity, and sensory richness. Allied Works+1

Allied Works transformed multiple private dining rooms and kitchen space on the restaurant’s second floor into a warm, layered environment defined by rich burgundy, brown, and gold tones. Custom walnut paneling and carefully curated vintage furniture create an elegant yet relaxed setting, while dramatic murals by artist Francesco Clemente envelop the space in visual energy. Meanwhile, L’Observatoire International’s lighting design enhances the ambiance, accentuating artwork and materials while creating an immersive and welcoming atmosphere.
