Bembe is a continual experiment of environmental
design aimed at bringing people a different approach to nightlife
interaction. By using mostly found and recycled objects from the
NYC area, AP and DL were able to create a space familiar to many
people and their respected cultures. Bembe is a place where many
emotions, perspectives, memories and ideas come together. The combination
of global music mixed with a warm and flavorful interior makes Bembe
a fresh alternative to lounge culture. Layered with multicultural
patrons, enticed with fresh fruit elixirs, and monthly art exhibitions,
Bembe creates a colorful canvas rarely seen in NYC nightlife. We
can all relate to and more importantly release our innermost expressions
when no expectations are involved. From conception and throughout
the entire process of building Bembe there was no plan, rule or
demographic approach. Relentless determination and creative vision
combined with spirit, a supportive staff, music experimentation
and diverse people is what made it all come together. Come check us out...Bembe!
