Here’s a look inside Cuties (instagram) the all-day bar that’s been under construction on Market Street in the Old Port. The business is being launched by a group of friends and industry colleagues—Bryce Summers, Garrett Lenderman, Ryan Nielsen, Arvid Brown and Nick Coffin. Coffin and Brown are the team that launched Room for Improvement in 2023.
The 2,100 sq ft former Petite Jacqueline space sports a new look. The central bar is now complemented by soft seating communal areas along the south wall and a long window counter looking out over Market Street. A mural by artist Jenna Pirello graces the main entrance, and John Sundling from Plant Office created the greenery design for the bar and the plant rail that circuits high along the windows.
Cuties will initially be open Tuesday through Sunday, 5 pm to midnight. The owners will be expanding their hours and embracing their full all-day concept starting in mid-May.
The evening drinks menu will feature wine and cocktails. The opening menu will include options like a frozen Mango Cadillac Margarita, a Miami Vice-inspired Sazerac, an espresso Martini on nitro, and a clarified freezer Martinez served with a sidecar short pour of Oyster River Morphos. The food menu will include a range of bar snacks like Nashville hot popcorn shrimp with black lime mayo, and Oaxacan cheese stuffed hushpuppies prepared in a Japanese taiyaki press.
Cuties is located at 46 Market and is set to open on April 8th at 5 pm.
