Bar Kabawa is a wine and daiquiri bar from Chef Paul Carmichael and Momofuku celebrating the flavors of the Caribbean in the heart of the East Village. Drawing inspiration from Chef Paul's culinary journey, the menu features daiquiris, wines by the glass, and a compact list of patties and raw bar bites. Bar Kabawa is a place to relax, enjoy, and feel at home—whether you're dropping in for a casual drink or gathering with friends.

While we do offer reservations each night, we save half the room for walk-ins too. Come on by!

    This is such a delicious addition to the neighborhood. I’m not a big rum drinker but the cocktails were crafted so perfectly balanced. For someone who likes a more spirit forward and dry concoction, there were definitely some good options. The food was excellent!

    Bar Kabawa is a unique concept, transporting you to the warm Caribbean in the middle of Manhattan. Exceptionally flavored plates and unique Daiquiris are just a few of the reasons this is a must visit!
