Tucked behind a sleek coffee bar in the NoMad neighborhood, Patent Pending invites guests to step through time — from bright, minimalist café to moody, subterranean speakeasy. Inspired by Nikola Tesla and the electric current of invention, the hidden bar hums with copper detailing, arched brick ceilings, and Edison bulbs that glow like a lab in motion. Cocktails are meticulously crafted, named after theories and transformations, grounding the experience in both story and spectacle. By day, it’s Patent Coffee; by night, a magnetic tribute to ideas that spark in the dark.
