— Our Story
The dimly lit Maya Mezcal bar interior, lined with bottles and candles
“The room was built in the language of agave: smoke, candle, tile.”

Where agave meets the East Village.

Maya was built around a single conviction: that mezcal, in all its smoke and complexity, deserves a room as romantic as the spirit itself.

Voted one of the country's top mezcal bars by Food & Wine, we curate rare agave from small Oaxacan palenques and pair it with elevated Mexican comfort food. We build every cocktail by hand. We treat every guest like family.

Talavera underfoot. Candles on every table. A back bar deep enough to lose an evening in.
