About Bastion
Two rooms share the building on Houston Street. The small dining room sets a handful of candlelit tables around an open kitchen, where the chefs carry out each dish themselves and explain it at the table; the menu is a tick-box card of small plates, with an option to order the whole list. Next door, the bar is larger and looser, with lanterns and string lights overhead, group tables, stools at the counter and a cocktail list that reviewers praise for its mezcal and gin creations, plus high-end bourbon at fairer prices than elsewhere. The building opens nightly at 5pm and runs to midnight in the week and 1am on Friday and Saturday, and weekend bar seats take patience. Google rates it 4.7 from about 650 reviews. Praise centres on service and invention; the complaints mention flies on a summer night, unrequested substitutions and a bill some felt outpaced the star.
