A cocktail bar in El Born — down a staircase into a basement space — where the cocktails are serious without being solemn and the room has the intimate scale that El Born's medieval architecture demands. The drinks programme rotates and the bartenders bring enough skill to justify seeking it out without the irritating exclusivity that speakeasies sometimes cultivate. A solid cocktail bar in a neighbourhood that has more than its share.
