Review

Dark woods and candlelight adorn this bar which occupies an impressive corner site on a crossroads close to the River Isar which runs through the city. It's from the same stable as Barista, so the two bars share similar menus, offering a good line of classic drinks, with a similarly large collection of spirits - the menu here also indicating whether the spirit is made in a pot or continuous still. Everything is properly stirred and shaken where you'd expect it to be. The drinks selection extends to draught beers here too.

The light and airy room boasts a large island bar (well, there's 'water' on three sides). It's the focal point in a clean and modern room (to the extent it's almost a bit sterile) which otherwise has a rather colonial feel, with ceiling fans turning slowly overhead. The vibe is slightly younger here than it's more grown-up sibling, not least shown by the more up-beat soundtrack.
