Knock on the wooden doorway in an alleyway behind the Hitriyat Petel restaurant and you’ll be ushered into this strange candle-lit barn full of nocturnal humanoids sitting on high wooden stools. It may seem as if you’ve stumbled onto the set of a vampire movie, but the hedonistic arty set who hang out here seem friendly. For those who like a bit of culture with their alcohol, Hambara’s sporadic programme of live jazz, studio theatre and other arty happenings provides an added inducement to drop by.
