The Sunken Lounge

Recline on upholstered benches beneath a split-flap departures board by Solari di Udine, surrounded by original white penny tile. While the design successfully channels a retro 1960s aesthetic, the menu leans toward standard hotel bar fare. Cocktails like the Aviation and Paper Plane are competent rather than craft, and visitors frequently note that the food and drinks—sometimes served in plastic containers—come with steep prices. For most, the main draw here is the striking physical setting itself.
