Deep purple velvet seating, dark wood panelling and rich red walls dominate this popular Botanic Avenue bar. Office workers, and students craving a classier ambience, scatter their bods amid its booths, sofas and bar stools. Weekend DJs spin classic tunes and there's a popular quiz every Tuesday. Elegant in an unforced way, and with the equally appealing Metro Brasserie and the Crescent Townhouse - the city's first boutique retreat - in situ, this is a three-in-one Queen's Quarter stop we heartily recommend.
