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

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

    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

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

    It used to be a great little secret cocktail place, but everyone knows of it now. Still good cocktails.

    Bright lights. Not crowded. Much more space. Good for a beginning drink.

    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.
