About this space

Behind the bar, classic drinks are reworked with a few unexpected twists, both in flavour and presentation, while still feeling familiar.

More than anything, it’s the atmosphere that stands out. The space is intimate and well put together, making it a good option for groups who want something a bit more considered than a standard bar booking.
