A hi-fi listening bar and cocktail den in a Hackney basement, where a proper vinyl-focused sound system is as much the point as the drinks. The Japanese bar influence runs through everything — whisky highballs are the order, and the cocktails are built to pair with the aesthetic rather than shout over it. Come in the evening, when the vinyl is spinning and the intimate basement fills, and treat it as a place to listen as much as to drink. It is focused, low-lit, and a little serious about sound — exactly as a listening bar should be.
