about

After Eden is an all-day café and cocktail lounge at 162 Orchard Street in New York's Lower East Side — shaped by progression and contrast, and designed to feel different depending on the hour. Days begin with Vietnamese coffee and light bites at an unhurried pace. By night, the bar takes over — signature cocktails, draft pours, and an atmosphere built for long evenings. Open daily until 2 AM.

Cocktails with Story, Precision, and Soul

Gelo Honrade leads the bar program at After Eden. His background spans Bar92, GUI, and Osamil — New York cocktail discipline shaped by Southeast Asian flavor and quiet French influence.
