Description

Descending the staircase reveals a dungeon-like basement where music echoes off the walls and shadow-casting light fixtures evoke a cinematic, Casablanca-inspired feel. It is a quiet space well-suited for catching up over drinks. While the food—including the sushi—tends to get mixed reviews, the bar shines with options like "The First Word", a smoky cocktail with egg white. The atmosphere calls for a sophisticated dress code but remains unpretentious, though the higher price point makes it best suited for a special night out.
