Prohibition themed, hidden speakeasy. You'll need to go down the alley, find the door under the red light and give it a knock to be admitted. Terrific cocktails, lots of inventive design and decoration. On busy nights there will be a few bros in T-shirts and flipflops but if you dress up you'll feel right at home.
