Maya Bar — Spirit of Rice is an evening exploration of rice through fermentation, distillation, and ritual.

Rooted in the same reverence for tradition that guides Maya Congee Café, Maya Bar turns toward the evening where rice is fermented, distilled, brewed, and transformed into liquid ritual. Here, rice becomes spirit, softness, depth, and warmth held in a glass.

This is a space for slowing down. For lingering. For intimate conversations and sensory presence. Drinks are crafted with intention, drawing from East Asian fermentation practices, ancestral techniques, and modern curiosity. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic offerings are treated with equal care, allowing each guest to choose their own rhythm.

We offer you an invitation to taste rice as culture, as memory, as mood.

PROJECTED OPENING WINTER/SPRING 2026
