A basement speakeasy on City Road with no sign on the door, live jazz most nights, and a cocktail menu structured by era — Prohibition, Post-War, and beyond. The drinks are elaborate, theatrical, and genuinely delicious; the smoked or garnished presentations are Instagram-worthy without feeling gimmicky. Reservations are essential and there's a minimum spend, but the experience justifies both.
