Tayēr & Elementary gives us two separate bars in one. At the front of the venue lead by Alex Kratena is Elementary, a bright and chilled all-day bar churning out bottomless coffee and light lunches through the day, and killer drinks on draught to give you a different kinda buzz in the evening. Meanwhile out the back in Tayēr where Monica Berg runs the roost, it's all about experimental cocktails with a daily changing menu of kick-ass drinks.
The cocktails in Elementary are of the pre-batched variety. Bottles of cleverly crafted serves, from Negronis to Gimlets. Tidy. At the back of the bar, in place of a bottle shelf, is a slushie machine, repurposed for their Elementary Frozen Coffee and churning away Havana Club Rum, Coffee Liqueur, Coffee, Coconut Milk and Condensed Milk. Give us a grande of this any day. Then there's the Small but MIGHTY One-Sip Martini. The blue cheese olive that will blow your f*cking mind. And it's half the size so you can have twice as many. Boom!
Then get yourself to the back for a whole other cocktail experience. The menu back here is ever-changing and they're always knocking up some hella creative drinks. Check out the menu and note the bold ingredients, cos that's the base flavour of each drink. Then tuck into a few of the dishes from the in-house French chef duo, Kitchen FM who serve up a Modern European menu of mouth-watering snacks like Pig's Head Croquettes and Plum Jam With Ginger Ice Cream.
