The editorial take
A tiki cocktail bar with a named menu of classics and originals, from Cane's Mai Tai to Dragon Slayer, plus shareable punch bowls in two sizes. The rum collection is the deep end: a hand-curated list with single and half pours spanning aged and rare expressions. Wine and beer are brief but functional. Theatrical presentation—smoke, fire, and distinctive vessels—shapes the drinking experience.
