| - Decided to come here on a whim late at 1 am on a Tuesday night. I've heard of so many great things about this place, but as someone who's not much of a bar-guy, I never really made the opportunity to go. I'm glad I finally got to try this place, and it'll definitely be one of my go-to bars from now on.
It was quite crowded when I went in, but it wasn't crowded like a dive bar. Everyone was still seated, and the tables aren't uncomfortably close to each other. During their late-night service, you order your food and bar at the front (not sure if that's what you have to do for dinner), and I was surprised that despite the large number of people, we were still able to catch the bartender fairly quickly.
They have a massive selection of drinks - which is great - but it might be to the point where you can feel quite overwhelmed if you're not much of a drinker. Feel free to ask the bartender for recommendations, they all seemed quite friendly and willing to help.
The ambience of the bar was nice. It didn't feel pretentious at all, but it didn't seem grungy either. It was right in the middle where you could walk in with T-shirt and jeans, or a full on suit, and still fit in to the overall vibe. There wasn't much mingling happening though, so I'm not sure how conducive the place is to meet people, if that's what you're looking for.
The charcuteries were great. I wish I were able to take better pictures but there was a generous portion of food. They were also happy to give us extra bread, and served it to us freshly toasted.
I hope I'll have a chance to go back soon to try their dinner menu. Given that I was impressed by their late-night service, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
