AI Summary

Swanston St speakeasy with private booths, live jazz nights and sharp cocktails.

Moody, intimate speakeasy on the second floor of Curtin House. private booths, low lighting and a jazz-era feel that suits date nights and quiet conversation over dance-floor nights with DJs and live bands.

Private booths with in-booth service call buttons, rotating live music and comedy festival programming, small balcony smoking area, and a reputation for hosting local artists and community events.

Not applicable. no specific cuisine or heritage lineage; the venue trades on a jazz-era speakeasy aesthetic rather than a national food culture.

Drinks are described as reasonably priced for a CBD cocktail bar, though a few reviewers found the food menu overpriced relative to what's offered and best skipped in favour of the drinks list.
