The drinks

An unconventional wine list that showcases predominantly smaller producers, including those which the group imports from Italy exclusively for Stock TC and Stock Bar. Guests who enjoy their wine at the restaurant can pick up a bottle downstairs on their way out. Cocktails are heavy on brown and earthy spirits, and inspired by international destinations. Also coming soon: wine tasting and classes led by Stock’s sommelier, Drew Innes.

The space

Spread out over three floors of the heavily redesigned historic Postal Station K, every space has its own unique feel, from the sweeping ground floor terrace and the plush tavern on the second floor, to the crowning Montgomery Room and rooftop garden patio. While each space can seat 120 guests at maximum capacity, they are currently restricted to 80, so reservations are recommended. “We knew it was going to be a special place,” says Mammoliti. “Between the booths and banquettes, private areas and patios, there’s no bad seat.”
