About Beast & Butterflies
Beast & Butterflies Downtown is an upscale Spanish-inspired tapas bar located in the heart of the Financial District, inside the new M Social Hotel Downtown New York. A vibrant addition to the neighborhood, the restaurant brings the warmth of Spanish flavors together with the energy of downtown Manhattan.
The menu centers on shareable tapas and a gin-forward cocktail program inspired by Spain’s rich gin culture, highlighting bold botanicals, citrus, and layered aromatics. Designed for connection and conversation, Beast & Butterflies offers a lively setting for hotel guests, locals, and visitors to gather over food and drinks.
With views of the World Trade Center and The Oculus just next door, the space reflects the character of its surroundings. Refined, energetic, and unmistakably downtown.

Inspired by Spanish dining culture and grounded in the energy of downtown New York, our approach to food and drink is centered on connection—creating a place where guests, locals, and the neighborhood come together naturally.
