The Scene – The exterior of Maison 140's bar has shades of a 19th century Parisian inn, while inside, designer Kelly Wearstler's decor is an eclectic mix of Asian influences topped with a French twist. Japanese-style mirrors cover one wall of the tiny room, while modern red plates hang in neat rows on another. Sink into straight-backed, French Provincial armchairs or a '70s-style sofa that stretches the length of the room. A calming, Zen-like quality is achieved with candles on each table; opulent light fixtures dangle overhead. This mini-lounge seats very few comfortably, but that…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Look like a regular by quaffing a Ginger Lemon Drop--ginger-infused Skyy vodka and lemon juice swirled over a nugget of lemon candy.
- When to Go:
- After 9pm on weekends, this tiny space can become uncomfortably full. Stop in after 6pm for a tranquil pre-dinner aperitif.

used to be one of my faves
by Tara deLis
there used to be some really nice bartenders here. now, it seems like their main guy is very path of least resistance/slacker mentality. the customer service has gone down hill as drink prices only inch up. it is still a great hideaway spot though. i would recommend it but i'm not sure i would be as anxious to go back personally, only b/c i know how much more special it was before. i'm hoping they can fix the service issue. they do wine and cheese events here sometimes which are quite nice. small groups. bar itself, i should mention, is miniscule.
- Pros: hideaway, wine and cheese events
- Cons: one of the bartenders lacking in customer service

Cozy Lounge with good martinis
by cheetahs
A great spot for sipping down a few martinis and chilling in their red, loungy, space. The bartenders are charming, personable and friendly. Parking not a hassle.

Cozy, Hot, Secret
by hiptola
Bar Noir is such a cute place. A great after work crowd during the week. and a great date place for a Sat. night. The bartenders are so cool and sexy. The will take care of you. Call during the weekdays cause they tend to close early if it is slow. They do great private parties as well.
- Pros: good drinks, great atmorshpere, great drinks

Red - Very Red
by madtrails
Bar noir may be one of the prettiest bars I've been to in my life. The decor is intimate and romantic.
This is a great place for a date. The blood orange martinis are delicious and dangerous.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Romantic, Small

Looks like David Lynch decorated it
by montez75
This place was/is tiny, but that adds to the look and feel. Not only is it small, but they also painted the walls black, and it looks even smaller. The drinks are strong. They are also very good. The music was a little boring, CDs set to random, or a XM radio, I couldnt tell. We arrived Saturday at 11p and stayed till 130a. It was busy until about 1a. The better part of this place is the bathroom. The whole place in general looks like youre in a David Lynch fill, but especially so in the bathroom. Its a cool place that you should see. There were also some great looking people, present company included.
- Pros: strong drinks, well-mixed drinks, decor
- Cons: , small
