the bitter apple

Welcome to the bitter apple

grand opening - June 7th, 2007 (closed to the public - watch depechemode.com for chances to win admission)

opening night entertainment - Guest DJ sets from Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher.

Dave Gahan, lead singer of the band Depeche Mode, widens his artistic expression on June 7th, and opens up his first restaurant. Named "the bitter apple", after Gahan's song "Bitter Apple" (from his first solo album, "Paper Monsters"), the restaurant opens the door for Dave to express his culinary side. "I've always wanted to open up a restaurant, but with obligations to Depeche, as well as my solo career, I never had the time. Now is the time."

Taking over the restaurant site formerly known as Poetessa, the bitter apple promises to be one of the cooler restaurants in the NYC area. With a small sound stage in the back of the restaurant, owner Dave Gahan promises to "have the joint rocking".
