Inside
Vintage, curious, and a little theatrical.
The vaults open into a warren of small rooms: velvet chaise lounges, gilded tables, gramophones and a cast of curiosities gathered over the years, watched over by a top-hatted boar's head and walls of plum-and-skull paper.
It is opulent and a little eccentric, and it does not take itself too seriously. The more you visit, the more we get to know you.
We keep an old-style Boston approach to barkeeping: if we can make it, we’re happy to oblige. The more you visit, the more we get to know you.
