Don't let the simple outside appearance or the fierce looking bouncers fool you. Beyond the doors at this dodgy corner on 6th and Mission, you’ll find two floors of wonder that will amaze you.

Inventive cocktails, plush couches, live jazz and a contortionist spinning from a hoop suspended above the bar set the pace on the ground floor. The bartenders up here know their stuff and love a challenge; just don’t let the mix of savoury ingredients and aromatic liquors catch you off guard. Can't decide? Well tell them what you like and they will surprise you... exciting. For something fresh, try the Garden Variety with gin, thyme liqueur, cucumber juice, lemon and rosemary.

When the jazz musicians hang up their hats, local DJs throw wicked nights including "Mondays Don’t Suck," an entertainment industry night, which brings in a cool mix of club kids, professionals and of course, lots of off-duty bartenders and restaurant staff.

Downstairs they have a club with some epic sound system and speakers, drawing some world class DJs. It’s easy to lose yourself down there.
