Christopher Barish is an American hospitality entrepreneur, film producer, and co-owner of Black Tap Group, LLC, a global restaurant group that includes Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer. Besides Black Tap, he has launched several nightclubs and restaurant ventures in the United States and abroad. He is an active movie producer through his production company, Branding Inc.[1][2]
Barish began his career in hospitality working a variety of roles at Planet Hollywood,[3] which his father, Keith Barish had co-founded,[4] and as a student at NYU Tisch School of the Arts,[5] where he promoted parties at New York nightclubs.[3]
As an investor and a promoter, Barish's first major establishment was Moomba, a restaurant nightclub launched by Jeff Gossett and three partners, which opened in December 1997.[6] This was followed by Light, which Barish opened in Midtown Manhattan in 2001 with Andrew Sasson, backed by a loan from Barish’s father.[7] In 2002, Sasson and Chris Barish opened a Las Vegas version of Light, modeled on the New York club, in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino.[8][9] Light at the Bellagio was considered extremely influential among Las Vegas clubs.[10] It was among the first independent nightclubs to open in a Las Vegas hotel and among the first to bring the concept of bottle service to the city.[11] In 2013, also with Sasson, Barish opened Caramel, another New York City-style nightclub in Las Vegas.[12][13] Barish's best-known nightclub was the Marquee in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, which opened in December 2003.[14] The Marquee’s other principal investors were Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss. Marquee was a success from the start[15] and is among New York’s longest-running nightspots. In April 2004, Vanity Fair magazine included Barish, Tepperberg and Strauss among New York City’s "Kings and Queens of Clubs" — noteworthy New York club owners and “nightlife impresarios.”[16]
As an investor and manager, Chris Barish opened Gordon Ramsay Steak (2012) and Gordon Ramsay Pub and Grill (2013) in Las Vegas for Caesars Entertainment.[3][17]
Barish and his partners launched Black Tap Burger and Beer as a stand-alone restaurant in New York’s SoHo neighborhood in 2015.[17] As of 2024, they have licensed restaurants in the US, Europe and Asia, including Zurich, Geneva, Dubai, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.[18]
On his own or through his production company Branding Inc. Entertainment, Barish has served as producer and executive producer of movies, including Zoey to the Max,[19] Ghost Squad,[2] Crown Vic[20] and Spin the Bottle.[21]
