Bibi’s doors first opened on April 22, 2014 at approximately 5pm EST. The first glass of wine was poured a few minutes prior, as it turns out opening a wine bar is quite stressful.
That first glass of wine was drank by Bonny Mckenzie - owner, manager and resident DJ, who opened bibi alongside her friends and industry legends, Michael Lagnese and Jonny Cohen.
In the years since, bibi has grown into an East Village landmark, renown for its intriguing wines, perfectly paired plates, and quick-witted staff.
