REYNA, which means “queen” in Spanish, was conceived by Nicki Laborie in Toronto in 2016. The Mediterranean Tapas and Cocktail Bar soon became a Toronto staple and 2 other locations were opened within 3-years. Through COVID, one closed and Laborie ventured back to her roots in New York City, where she began her career in the late nineties. Finding the perfect location in October 2021, REYNA New York opened its doors in October 2022 and is now marking its stamp on the big city. The hospitality veteran believes PEOPLE BRING BACK PEOPLE. As a result, the entire concept revolves around bringing people together in a convivial, sexy, warm and welcoming space. Every detail of REYNA is curated to follow the vibe, from the decor, the music, lighting, food and cocktails making an experience at REYNA unique and memorable. In early 2023, Laborie will open LE LOUIS - named after the many French kings - an upscale speakeasy in the basement of REYNA. Offering carefully curated cocktails, an extensive wine and champagne list, a small menu featuring luxurious menu items including full caviar service, this sexy lounge intends on putting its own stamp on the New York hospitality scene.
