Small joint and you have to walk down an alley to get to it. If you didn't know where to look you would miss it. And this is part of what makes this an excellent joint. Hidden hole in the wall bars are usually a gem. This is. Darkly lit, unqiue decor, but it works for them. Have been twice and it was crowded on both occasions. Good selection of cocktails, priced competitively to other bars ( Palmer, Bulletin, Grandma's), and the unique setting and hidden location make this a must stop of bars in the city. Should be on any bar hopping list and may even become your go-to. Well done Papa. Well done.

Insider Tips
Staying in line with the eerie cult theme, the bar introduces interesting mixes such as “The Zombie” - a concoction of rum, Cointreau, absinthe, apricot, grapefruit, lime and fire - so strong it can wake the dead. We dare you to try it!
