Mace is a cocktail bar situated in New York City’s East Village, established by mixologist Nico de Soto and restaurateur Greg Boehm. The venue is defined by a flavor-led approach to mixology, where the conceptual heart of every drink is a single spice or botanical ingredient sourced from around the world.

By prioritizing the sensory profiles of its ingredients—ranging from earthy and pungent to bright and floral—the bar offers an experience tailored to those who view mixology as an extension of culinary craft rather than simply a destination for spirits. The atmosphere balances professional precision with a relaxed neighborhood sensibility, distinguishing itself through a narrow, ingredient-centric methodology that invites exploration of global flavors within a high-concept cocktail framework.
