Known forspeakeasycocktail barCBDpremium
Hidden behind a secret entrance in the CBD, Eau de Vie is a theatrical cocktail bar with a strong focus on rare spirits and tableside presentation. The cocktail list is ambitious and the whisky collection is exceptional — ask the bartenders for a recommendation based on your palate. It's on the pricier side and reservations are strongly advised. The speakeasy atmosphere is genuinely well-executed rather than gimmicky.
