The Back Room
MTWTFSS

A 1920s-styled hotel speakeasy reached through a coat check with a shoeshine stand, with staff in period dress and a gilded bar. Its hidden gin lab distils the house Bee's Knees gin from Filipino botanicals (dalandan, sampaguita, turmeric) — you can book a session to make your own. Polished, hotel-grade service.

Go Thu–Sat from 9pmCapacity is capped, so prime time is calm rather than crushed.
