Came across this little gem late last night tucked away and hidden underneath the Atlantic restaurant we walked into a very sexy intimate stylish bar with awesome decor and even better cocktails and service. Hands down had the best ever cocktail I've ever had thanks to the mixologist who created this cocktail and many more Do yourself a favour and check it out you will not leave disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really cool atmosphere. The interior was well designed and the drinks were nice, however, small selection of cocktails. Worth checking out if you never been. Very comfy couches to kick back on.

Great "hidden bar" with nice cocktails.. It has a great atmosphere with a sort of early American prohibition vibe! The bartender was wonderful in suggesting drinks and very friendly.
