Pass through the gate, walk down an alleyway and up a set of stairs to find a dimly lit den fitted with a gleaming bar. When you arrive, you'll find a sultry, sophisticated spot where cocktails are poured into teacups—just like back in the day.
On Mondays, hear musicians perform while you sip your drinks. Their tunes will transport you to the golden age of jazz with a repertoire of bygone classics, swinging rhythms and timeless charm. You might even be moved to start swing dancing.
