Bar Chucho Gives Two Bridges a Mexican Cocktail Hangout

A different use for serious skills

At 37 Market Street, Bar Chucho brings the people behind Corima and Vato into a more casual bar format. Time Out's April 2026 opening report identifies Jesse Kranzler, Fidel Caballero and Sofia Ostos behind the project, with Edward Hardebeck directing the drinks.

The opening menu gave micheladas their own space and included a sotol-based margarita with Granny Smith apple and cilantro. That is a useful indication of the bar's interests: familiar drink formats with a specific, considered point of view.

An ambitious drink does not require an elaborate evening.

A place to drop into

The Infatuation's review describes a walk-in-only Two Bridges room with red lighting and a compact food menu. Its examples include a mushroom-and-quesillo preparation using Vato tortillas and a gin uni sour served from a nitro keg.

Those are reported menu details, not our tasting notes. Check what is being served now, particularly if seafood or other allergens affect your order. The interesting connection is the way a team associated with restaurant cooking applies its ideas to a neighborhood bar.

Keep the plan flexible

Before heading to Market Street

• Check the bar's current opening hours; early announcements and later listings differ.
• Plan for walk-in seating rather than assuming you can reserve.
• Ask which michelada variations are available today.
• Review food and drink ingredients together if you have dietary restrictions.

Bar Chucho adds another way to explore Mexican drinks in New York: a stop centered on the bar, with enough food to make staying a little longer an option.
