This was a hidden little gem, feels like a speakeasy in the bartender really cared to give a great experience. He knew the right ice cubes to put in an old-fashioned. The homemade chocolate was amazing.

Hidden gem.
Cocktails are world class.
Prices paid for such quality are fair.
The decor is absolutely exquisite. Every single detail is on purpose, neat and slick.
Cigar choice is good and smoking in such an atmosphere makes the smoke even better.
The owner which is also the mixologist (and I guess the interior designer) is very professional and meticulous. Real mixologist scientist/artist.
Trust me, get there you can’t regret it.

Amazing hidden gem!! I bartended for 20 years and have been in some of the greatest cocktail bars on earth. This was certainly one of them. Superior attention to detail, fresh ingredients, and just extremely delicious. The service from the moment you walk in is warm and inviting. Great seductive ambiance…cool music. I loved every minute of it and it’s totally worth your time and money. Yes there is a small cover charge… yes you will pay a little bit for the libations…but this is a craft, an art, and something you deserve to experience. Plus…anyone who can make an outstanding cocktail with Fernet Branca is a hero in my book. Cheers!

Stunning negronis. Vibes here are cosy, and the bar is located off the beaten path, so it's pretty quiet. Decor here is a classic speakeasy ambience. The owner is friendly and speaks some english, so you can chat with him about the types of alchohol and distilleries he purveys and he'll share.

Great bar! A little hidden on a second floor. Speakeasy style, with around 20 seats. Nice mixology and small but very nice whisky, rum and tequila selection. Ideal to have a cigar with a few drinks!
