Archive & Myth is an intimate, speakeasy-style cocktail bar that focuses on technically precise, theatrical cocktails served in a compact, bar-centred setting.

Venue highlights: Archive & Myth centres on a compact service bar that encourages direct interaction with bartenders and live cocktail preparation. The venue provides in-house catering with multiple vegetarian options and accepts partnered deliveries from the neighbouring Chop Chop Chinese. A passenger lift serves all floors for accessibility.

Best for: Cocktail tastings and masterclasses; after‑theatre drinks; small private receptions and milestone celebrations.
