Known forjazz barwhiskyLittle Italylive music
A jazz-focused bar on College Street named after a fictional character from a Woody Allen film, with a warm, lived-in atmosphere and an impressive whisky selection. Live jazz plays regularly and the vibe is genuinely relaxed and neighbourhood-oriented. The food menu is solid but the real draw is the drinks and the music.
