  • Reviewers' Choice 2023 - Top 100

A classic cocktail lounge, restaurant and boutique bar.

It is located upstairs overlooking 61 Harrington Street. The open panoramic windows give one a real visual of the neighbourhood and provides the perfect perch on which to sit, relax and wallow with one of our tasty libations, craft cocktails or tantalising tapas.

Expect beautifully polished wooden accents, windows, velvet bottle service booths, dedicated smoking lounge and a boutique DJ booth geared up for late evening revelry. This is a cool environment with a distinct air of sophistication.

    from the moment I stepped out of my Uber, the doorman, the host, I got a trainee waiter, but he serviced like a pro, was attentive, had great recommendations. The food was 12/10, I was a bit bummed they didn't have cheesecake & the brownie was nice but a bit too sweet for my liking. The drinks are reasonably priced & the toilets are well kept.

    The service was disappointing. Despite it being a three-course dining experience, the table was not properly set, and we were given dirty glasses. There was little attention to detail. The waiter was friendly, but overall, I wouldn’t return.
