Atmospheric and intimate, this basement relic of the 1960s follows a deceptively simple formula: chilled jazz music in the background, minimal lighting from an assortment of flea-market lamps, classic cocktails, and a cosy, cramped scattering of red-velvet-backed loungers around tiny dark tables. Tarot readings are also thrown into the mix.
