Hidden downstairs in brasserie Zedel. Great uncomplicated list of cocktails . Mixed crowd of older and younger people. Less hipster and more classy .

Kasper Kyhl

Fantastic bar . Be adventurous and ask the bartender to create something unique. You will not be disappointed

Michael Menegos

You're entering a time machine disguised as a bar , the former legendary Dick's Bar . Try not to take notice of the loud crowd and nurse your well-made cocktail appreciating the unique art deco ambience

Doug de Wet

Excellent classic cocktails served in transporting Art Deco digs. Top notch bartenders were extremely hospitable and knowledgeable . Cheers!

Hannah Parvaz

Brilliant atmosphere. Some really tucked away areas, perfect for quiet conversation over cocktails .

Anna K.

Art Deco interior, classical cocktails (and local twists) and complimentary spicy popcorn .

Jeff Melnyk

Classy , casual - the perfect place to grab a cocktail before dinner in retro art deco style. Come early mid week for a quiet drink.

Bogdan Zadorozhny

Fun atmosphere with an old-school vibe. The wait can be a bit long and it’s a bit of a maze to find but it’s mostly worth it.

Kate Arkless Gray

Art Deco haven. Love that napkins match wallpaper! :-) (Mojito good too!)

Wonderfully relaxing.

Sam Greenley

Very poor attitude. Arrived to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Shown to a seat in the bar that was 2/3rds full and slid to next seat as cosier. Rude waiter told us to move, so we sadly left.

Jenn Day

Luke Bowles

Ambience is fun and classy
