KB18 is a cocktail bar in the Meatpacking District that has established itself as one of the better spots for a serious drink in the area. The bar programme focuses on seasonal ingredients and locally sourced spirits, with a menu that changes throughout the year. The interior uses the original industrial features of the slaughterhouse building — exposed brick, high ceilings — without over-designing them.
Good option for a pre-dinner drink before eating in the district's restaurants, or as a destination in its own right. The bar gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights; weeknights are quieter and service more attentive.
