Bond is Altura Concepts' cocktail lounge, a few doors from its sister Ambra in the Auburn Avenue complex: a red-carpet entrance, a backlit bar, club chairs and couches, framed portraits of 007 on the walls and a room that stays dark, low and intimate. The name nods to the martini-drinking spy, but also to the idea of connection — dates, deal-closing dinners and nights out with people you actually want to talk to.
The bar program is the point: classic martinis, an espresso martini and a yuzu garibaldi the staff push for good reason, plus house signatures like the Magma Ruby. The kitchen keeps pace with luxury bites — torched salmon, tuna foie, beef wagyu sliders, empanadas, oysters and a charcuterie board built for the couches.
The week has a rhythm: Taco Tuesday, live jazz every Wednesday, and Thursday Night Grooves with whisky and sushi, then late hours through Saturday. Reservations run through OpenTable and are worth making for good seating; the dress code is enforced (no athletic wear, caps, hoodies, casual shorts or open-toed sandals for men). Private events are hosted in-house.
