Opened shortly before the pandemic, this pub-cocktail bar, with a style reminiscent of the roaring 1920s, exudes a calm and intimate atmosphere, with soft electric lighting and miniature candles at the tables. The well-chosen music doesn't overwhelm; in fact, it's almost audible only inside the place.
Outside, on the street, around the black iron tables, in a mix of essential furnishings somewhere between coastal and colonial, are scattered chairs and sofas, also in matching black and iron, adorned with emerald green cushions embroidered in yellow.
Upon entering, on the left, the walls are furnished with sofas and upholstered tables, inviting you to recline and dine; To the immediate right, the wall is occupied by a solid wood bookcase that rises to the ceiling, from which emerges a shelf overlooking two large stools. The bookcase holds large hardback and paperback volumes that fit well with the space. At the center of the shelf, disrupting the otherwise polished look of the shelves, stands a roulette wheel.
Almost hidden, between the bookcase and the corner of the counter, a handful of steps lead to the basement, where the restroom is located. Meticulously detailed, with black-and-white paintings of nudes and risqué 1920s poses around the doorframes and the sink mirror, the counter takes up the entire wall, save for a small door on the right, which leads to the kitchen.
Breaking up the theme without appearing crude, to the left of the counter is a flamboyant, life-size reproduction of a large African feline.
Finger food served sparingly, to the extreme, the quality is undeniable, from the feta wrapped in fried baskets drizzled with honey to the dark tortillas with guacamole and a carrot and celery dip. Enjoyable selection of wines and cocktails.
Courteous and helpful staff.
I admit, the photo is terrifying, but I didn't immediately check the result.
We'll be back.
