Very tasty cocktails, with proper proportions of alcohol. None of this watered down rubbish you tend to get in most places these days. Very cool atmosphere with very knowledgeable staff. They will make anything you ask them, and it doesn't have to be on the menu.

Ring the bell and the curtain is swept aside to admit you to an intimate bar of clean lines and low lighting. Make sure you book if you want a table, especially if there's more than two of you. Water and pretzels are supplied to suggest that you're there to _taste_ their excellent creations (rather than just guzzle too many); there's a level of respect demanded of the cocktails they serve, and rightly so. Ask for advice, discuss what's on offer and you won't be disappointed.
