01The rooms

Two rooms.
One address.

Come early and sit down. Stay late and don’t. The lounge and the club share a front door, so the night can go either way without you leaving the building.

The Lounge

Plush seating under warm light, and a bar built for conversation. Order something stirred and let the night start slow.

We’ve got it. Expect a text or email with availability and the minimum for your night — usually the same day.

03The bar

Stirred, not scrolled.

Every cocktail is built to order. Classics done properly, house drinks worth the detour, and a bar team that will make you something off-menu if you tell them what you like.

House signature

Espresso Martini

Vodka and fresh-pulled espresso, shaken hard, three beans on top. The reason half of downtown walks through the door.

Vodka · fresh espresso
Classic

Dirty Martini

Cold and briny, stirred to the right dilution, olives on the pick.

Gin or vodka · extra dirty on request
Classic

Old Fashioned

Sugar, bitters, a good pour and one large cube. Nothing hiding in it.

Bourbon or rye
Classic

Cosmopolitan

Sharp, cold and pink — made the way it was before it got a reputation.

Flamed peel
04The nightclub

After midnight,
the room opens.

Wall-to-wall LED, a full moving-head rig and a floor that reflects every beam. Residents on the weekend, touring artists on event nights.

The rig

Full moving-head lighting

Trusses of movers and pixel battens over the floor, programmed to the set instead of running on a loop.

Live-operated
The walls

Wall-to-wall LED

Screens behind the booth run custom visuals for every artist, so no two nights look the same.

Custom per set
The booth

Club-standard DJ setup

Industry rig in the booth and a system tuned for the room, not for a spec sheet.

Riders welcome
The floor

Tables ringing the room

Reserved sections sit above the floor with sightlines to the booth, so you never lose your group.
