This intimate bar with a rooftop garden is part of and tucked away behind Carlton institution Jimmy Watson's. The ground-level cosy bar is decorated with curios from Europe, while the rooftop garden provides an oasis to escape the city below.

There is a selection of fine beers, wines, and unusual spirits mixed to perfection, as well as snack plates for sharing and pizza.
