The vibe

A velvet-draped, candlelit Harlem speakeasy evoking the Art Deco energy of the Harlem Renaissance, just steps from the Apollo Theater. Founded by nightlife veterans Ektoras Binikos and Simon Jutras, the intimate room features over 30 craft cocktails inspired by art, music, and history. Live jazz on Monday nights completes the immersive, prohibition-era atmosphere.
