Sago House

Bar features weekly cocktail specials . When we visited, there were hits & misses. If you have your preferred tipple, better to stick with those recipes ????

There’s no visible bar sign outside, and a heavy curtain shields the busy bar from passers-by. So spot these cute drawings by Distort Monsters, a local artist & head on in!

Vieux Carré (right, pronounced “voo car ray”) is a delicate whisky-based drink. The one made here is smooth & not overly sweet

Find a continuation of the drawings of Distort Monsters within. Another fantastical mural lines the back wall

Score a seat at the counter to watch drinks being made & strike up conversations with the mixologists

“Don’t try” is their motto, according to Jay Gray, a co-founder. In an interview, he cites inspiration from Charles Bukowski who used the phrase often

Sazerac (right), a whisky-based cocktail . Could do with more absinthe

There are some outdoor seats , which I suspect are for you to wait for an available place within

Personally, I preferred Sago 1.0. More intimate . Better food menu.

Super dope

It’s not a joke. There’s a $50 clean-up / inconvenience fee if you puke all over
