Lunatico

Description

Tucked into a cozy corner of Bed-Stuy, LunÀtico is a musician-owned gem that feels like a portal to another time and place. The space is intimate and eclectic—mismatched tables, salvaged wood, retro lampshades, and a glowing “Liquid Love” sign salvaged from a bygone neighborhood bar. Muted, multi-hued lighting casts a warm glow over the small stage, where the vibe shifts nightly. Founded in 2014 by touring musicians Richard Julian, Arthur Kell, and Rosita Kèss, LunÀtico has become a haven for global sounds and improvisational fire. The lineup is adventurous: jazz in all its forms, plus Afrobeat, flamenco, Haitian rhythms, Brazilian forró, and more. You might catch a legend like Peter Bernstein or discover a new favorite from the local scene. It’s the kind of place where the music matters, but the mood is relaxed—come for a cocktail, stay for the soul.
