The editorial take
A members-only wine bar and private event venue inside the Murchison building, where the owner hand-selects wines from around the world and rotates the list each season. Cocktails are hand crafted and change seasonally, as does the local craft beer. Wine Knot Wednesdays take half off bottles, which is the clearest reason to plan a midweek visit. The wine list is the deepest commitment here; cocktails and beer are supporting rotations without named pours attached.
