Created by co-founders **Monica Berg** and **Alex Kratena**, the residency was designed to combine a classic neighborhood bar's welcoming spirit with the creativity, flavor, and personality of **Tayēr + Elementary**. Berg called *Casual by Tayēr* "our way of staying connected to the people who have supported us, even as we navigate an unexpected moment of change."

The cocktail menu will merge **Tayēr**'s style with **Elementary**'s technique and precision, alongside cult classics including the *One Sip Martini*. Head chef **Steven Diaz** created a menu of cross-cultural snacks, skewers, sandwiches, and hot plates shaped by Latin and Asian influences and nostalgic drinking comfort food. Dishes will include *Green Plantain Crisps with Rayu*, *Watermelon + Shiso Gilda*, *Yellowtail Tiradito*, *Tamago Sando*, and *Cubano Sandwich*.
