La Cueva is a slot canyon-themed speakeasy located at Ponce City Market. The cave entrance is a “liminality”—a threshold and passageway into a futuristic cocktail bar and restaurant, with menu design by James Beard-recognized Chef Luis Damian.The cave is set in a dystopian future, where sojourners gather around the glowing stone—a source of vitality and a place of refuge. Its potions are the remedy for weary travelers seeking nourishment and a momentary escape from the heaviness of the outside world.The atmosphere reflects the soul of the cave itself: warm, glowing light against rugged stone, echoes of Latin rhythm and spirit, and energy pulsing through the room—mysterious and full of life.*La Cueva features live music every night.***Dress to impress:** No athletic wear, athleisure, sports jerseys, ball caps, shower caps, flip-flops, or sagging pants.**Admission is strictly limited to guests 21 years of age or older.
