An intimate cocktail bar in residential St. Hanshaugen, named for the Jim Jarmusch film and built around a cinephile's sensibility — low light, moody atmosphere, references in the decor, and maybe twenty seats in total. The cocktails are serious: trust the skilled, attentive bartenders with the classics, and the espresso martini fits the name perfectly. Because it is so small, weeknights are the realistic time to get a seat, and late evening is when the mood fully settles. It is the kind of tiny, considered room that rewards going on a quiet night rather than a crowded one.
