What's your bar's specialty drink?
It's constantly changing, depending on what we find. Right now we are spinning some classics with dry sherry; last week we were playing with Cascara.
What drink turns you off?
Vodka martinis. They are Vodkatinis, not Martinis.
What makes your bar different?
The quiet, relaxed, secluded, European feel. The ability to naturally start a conversation with the people at the next table, or just sit with a nice glass of wine and read a book. Like our single origin coffee we like to change our beer, wines and cocktails regularly, and have a team of staff that are passionate about the products we serve and love talking about why.
What's the design/atmosphere of your bar?
Sleek, clean, precise, with a little bit of jazz. The space is designed to feel clean and refined, yet inviting and effortless. The music is funky and can go anywhere – the smooth sound of Eliza Fitzgerald can turn into the breaks of Kurtis Blow before you even realise the record is finished. The atmosphere feeds off it all – calm yet exciting, like you're in a little hideaway. It's a shelter from the city's hustle and bustle.

Best hangover cure?
Everyone has a special cure. I like a daytime cold and flu tablet – painkillers with a little 'upper' in there to keep you awake all day. However, we know someone who likes to wake up with a vodka-Red Bull, which they drop a Berocca in for an extra kick.
