Our Story

Located in Williamsburg, Hear & There, is a chic, contemporary listening bar and omakase restaurant.

This is the first concept from husband-wife team Howard Ng and Samantha Nie of Third Date Hospitality, who have brought together a talented team, including PDT alum Larry Gonzalez to oversee the cocktail program and executive chef Mark Garcia.

Offering two distinct experiences, Hear & There features a front space serving classic cocktails with a modern twist and an otsumami (Japanese small plates) menu, while tucked away behind a sliding door in the back of the bar is a 22-seat omakase counter.

The space is designed by New York-based Danny Taylor and the team at HOUSE/UNDER/MAGIC and emphasizes a high quality listening experience featuring custom speakers that seamlessly follow you through both rooms — allowing for immersive music experience without ever compromising conversation.
