AI Summary

A moody, brick-walled speakeasy-style lounge tucked into a heritage hotel in Gastown, with a spirits-forward menu, low candlelight, and an intimate atmosphere. A favorite for a late drink after dinner on the cobblestones.

A proper hidden gem

You almost walk past the entrance. Inside it is all candlelight and exposed brick, with a bartender who clearly loves classic spirits. The Sazerac was one of the best I have had.

Intimate and characterful

Great for a quiet nightcap after dinner in Gastown. Seating is tight and there are few outlets, so come for the mood rather than to work.
