Ergovanta was founded by George, who spent years on Wall Street as an investment banker and then a private equity investor, work that ran through entertainment, hospitality, and event dealmaking and into the bars and lounges of the people who run these rooms. He came away with one conviction: the room you run should be put together with intent.

The bar is where that settles in. Every piece here is chosen for warm, low, evening light and a finish that takes a long night and a wipe-down and still reads considered, from the booth to the back bar.
