Read moreAmazing cocktail bar .few minutes walk from the hotel we were staying in , we visited in the evening midweek and there was a really chilled and relaxed vibe with different music playing inside and outside , the bar itself is beautiful with lots of attention to detail especially on the walls and stairs
The staff are very knowledgeable about cocktails and can happily talk through the selection and offer twists on your favourites especially Luis and Moses.
