Architect Chris Cockburn's deSign of the basement space emphasises natural materials Such as wood panelling that is mirrored in timber flooring and l_)an(.iuettes of raven leather which is repeated on the facia of the serpentine bar.
The libations list features a catalogue of premium spirits. whether US bourbon or European vodka. as well as a good many yvnes and cocktails. A
Sunday promotion is promised and occasional Dtls will stipplmnen: the daily soundtrack drav-i'n from a collection of 1:500 CDs.
