“Are we scheduled for a fitting today?” asks the staff.
The answer is yes. Then, step through to the fitting room, behind velvet curtains, and say the magic words “open sesame” out loud. A wall of mirrors slides ajar to reveal a hidden, intimate speakeasy.
That is how to get to Taylor Adam, a covert cocktail bar concealed behind the storefront of a bespoke tailor. Grab a seat by the counter, or snuggle up at a cosy nook, and sip on a Latin America-influenced cocktail and food menu, inspired by tales of trade and travel.
All cocktails are priced at $25 each. Start with the zesty La Paloma, or the effervescent Vino Fresco. There's also the smoky Nature's Gift and inventive tipples like Feeling Corny?. Café Del Plata is inspired by two popular ingredients in Argentina — fernet and coffee. And those who don't mind a hint of spice should opt for the fruity Lichia Samba. In the mood for something special? Taylor Adam is also committed to providing a bespoke experience, both in the cocktail and suit department. And should you actually be in the market for some new threads, the bar has ties with Meiko Tailor, a local family-run suit atelier.
