Really creative drinks, some good, some other meh. The music was good but then it was a bit loud. We also had a broken glass when our negroni arrived so watch out, other than that, cool bar, nice lightning & speakeasy style.

updated new place: thank you for hosting, new nice drinks & perfect soundsystem!

J'y suis allée avec des collègues de travail durant notre fin de semaine d'assemblée général annuel. Le nom du bar nous a interpellé !! La serveuse a fait de bonne recommandation! Prenez note: Pour un groupe ( nous étions 10-11 personnes), ils ne font pas des factures séparés. Une facture totale avec un tip de 18%.
