Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bespoke cocktails that arrive after a conversation with the staff about what you like. Produced to a high standard.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
An upstairs bar accessible with a door bell. On entry you’ll find what looks like a cinema bar or ‘backstage’ type feel. A small sweeping red room with curtains and high tables.
Atmosphere/
Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
An element of fun to the doorbell and decision making, and a nice clandestine feel – windowless and private. Not overly swanky either, though somewhere between casual and smart casual would be preferable to not feel uncomfortably out of place.

Value For Money❤️❤️❤️
For a cocktail bar of this variety and given the location, drinks are relatively reasonable.
DescriptionThe concept is that you won’t know quite what you’ve ordered. The staff begin a conversation about what cocktails you like and try to pare it down so the waiter can mix you a bespoke drink. This naturally have varied results – reviews report people often don’t get what they asked for, but like it anyway. The cocktails are nevertheless made to a good standard and a reasonable price overall, and the bar itself is on the 1st floor of a Skadarska city building, close to the epicentre of nightlife in the capital. You’ll find the bar an engaging, atmospheric place with curtains and sweeping curved lines reminiscent of a cinema bar or some backstage private event. It’s all put together pretty effectively and adds variety, flair and colour to your evening. (Added June 2023)
