Cocktails worth crossing town for.
A small room with a long list — eight originals, the classics done properly, and a whisky shelf worth asking about.

A room built for conversation.
We opened in 2019 with thirty-four seats and a rule: no standing crowd, no TVs, music low enough to talk over. The list is short because everything on it earns its place — and the kitchen next door feeds cocktail drinkers properly.
- Ice cut in-house, syrups made weekly
- Zero-proof versions of every original
- Walk-ins always keep a third of the room
Word of mouth
5 out of 5 stars
“The kind of bar you measure other bars against. Ask for whatever the bartender is excited about and say yes.”

Before you come
Do I need a reservation?+
Recommended Thursday to Saturday — but a third of the room is always held for walk-ins. Solo seats at the bar are usually findable.
Is there a dress code?+
No. Come from work, come from the gym — we care what you drink, not what you wear.
Can you do groups?+
Up to six at the round table by reservation. The full room hires out on Mondays and Tuesdays — email for private-hire rates.
Non-drinkers welcome?+
Genuinely. Every original on the list has a zero-proof build that gets the same care, not a lemonade with a garnish.
The good seats go first.
Reservations open two weeks out. Wednesday and Sunday are the quiet ones — the regulars' secret.
