A new bar has opened inside The JACX high-rise office building in Long Island City.

The new establishment, called The Bar at JACX&CO, opened Thursday on the ground floor of the 26-story two-tower development located at 28-17 42nd Rd. It offers a wide range of cocktails, wines, ciders and beers.

The new bar is located inside a food hall called JACX&CO, which is situated on the southwest corner of Jackson Avenue and Queens Plaza South.

The Bar at JACX&CO is being operated by Tishman Speyer, the real estate development company that owns The JACX.

The new establishment, operators say, is open to residents, office workers and customers visiting the expansive food hall, which is around 11,000 square feet.

“We love our vibrant neighborhood and aim to be a true community hub,” said Shana Watts, general manager of JACX&CO.

The bar features a C-shaped counter that has around 20 bar stools. The bar is accessible to all users of the food hall, which seats more than 200 people in total. The JACX&CO food hall houses a number of restaurants and a café.
