Most ordered
Espresso pulled to order, vodka, cold-brew coffee liqueur and vanilla, shaken hard for a velvet crema.
Stirred
Gin, plum-infused vermouth and Italian bitter, stirred over one clear block of hand-cut ice.
Lounge favourite
Apricot aperitivo, dry sparkling wine, soda and a sprig of lemon thyme. Light, golden and made for the lounge.
Long & fresh
Blanco tequila, pink grapefruit, lime and a pinch of sea salt, topped with grapefruit soda.
Alcohol-free
Cucumber, mint, elderflower and lime, lengthened with soda. All of the ritual, none of the alcohol.
The lounge · from 6pm
Start the night in low light and velvet. Our bartenders mix from a back bar of 200 spirits while a pianist plays until the decks take over at ten. Happy hour runs every evening until 8pm.

Guest reviews
Best espresso martini in the city, and the room looks like a film set. We came for one drink and stayed until the lights came up.
Booked a mezzanine booth for my thirtieth. Our host had the sparklers, the playlist and the cake ready before we sat down.
The zero-proof list is genuinely good, so I can drive home and still feel part of the night. Thursday jazz is a gem.
