Really beautiful cocktail and jazz bar. It is like a big living room, quite spacious and cosy. The music was very good and yet you can still have a conversation. The cocktails were good but not great. The service, extra snacks and everything else was great.

First of all, lets talk about the room. The space is absolutely stunning. With some beautiful jazz playing in the background really sets the tone.

Sadly the quality of the cocktails is not quite there yet. From their specials list there were a few that were ok, but no WOW. The classics seemed to be a little off as well.
