Local tips
- Arrive after 8 PM on weekdays or 7 PM on weekends to experience the bar at its liveliest. The venue fills quickly, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings, so arriving early ensures better seating and a more relaxed atmosphere.

- Pair your cocktails with the small plates menu. The food offerings are designed to complement the drinks and enhance the overall experience without overwhelming the palate.
- Note that the bar closes at 2:00 AM on weeknights and 2:30 AM on weekends. Plan accordingly if you're visiting late, as last orders typically come 30 minutes before closing.
- The venue is relatively compact, so it can become crowded during peak hours. If you prefer a quieter experience, visit on weekday evenings earlier in the night, around 7-8 PM.
