Bar Alcina is the sister concept of the new east side restaurant, which launched this spring. The lounge serves bar snacks, cocktails, wine and other drinks and will host special events in the future.
"Bar Alcina is the casual, low-key counterpart to Casa Bianca. We're excited to open a space where guests can drop in for rooftop hangs or relax with a glass of wine while waiting for a table at Casa Bianca downstairs," co-founder Richard Thomas said in a statement. "We’re also planning a tiki event in October and a twice-monthly sunset film series on Tuesdays featuring Italian horror, western and crime."
Food items include sandwiches, chilled pastas and other small dishes. The drink menu centers house frozen and draft cocktails, and wine.
The rooftop has space for 60-75 people and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 4-10:30 p.m. Happy hour is offered on weekdays from 4-6 p.m.
