our story
Find us on floors 2, 3, and 4 of a legendary townhouse at Rockefeller Center.
Formerly a watering hole named Hurley’s (1892-2000), our space has a storied past. Hurley’s was long known for famed regulars like…
Johnny Carson — who had a personal back entrance to 30 Rock through the bar (that still exists!)
Novelist Jack Kerouac — whose writing on Hurley’s inspired the Pebble Bar name
David Letterman — who regularly filmed on-air on the third floor
Decades of Saturday Night Live cast and staff — who dubbed the space “Studio 1-H”
Pebble Bar was launched in the Hurley’s spirit in February 2022 by Authentic Hospitality. Helmed by partners, friends and longtime New Yorkers Matt Kliegman, Carlos Quirarte & Matthew Charles, Authentic is also the team behind The Smile, Georgia Room, Bar Calico, The Jane Ballroom, Ray’s, Jac’s on Bond and Black Seed Bagels. For Pebble Bar, Authentic collaborated with John and Christine Gachot of AD100 design firm Gachot Studios, whose projects include Glossier’s original Soho flagship boutique, Marc Jacobs’ West Village townhouse, and Detroit’s Shinola Hotel.
