Editorial context
Editorial review checked:
Guest reviews · June–August 2026
Recent visitors praise inventive cocktails, an intimate room, music and friendly staff. The alley entrance can look unpromising. One August guest reported being forgotten at the bar; another reviewer said staff readily remade an occasional disappointing drink.
This editorial note is independent of the score and does not change it.
