We get in touch with 1923 a fashionable speakeasy. Whilst our search is rather authentic, we unquestionably have the basic beverages, but we’re toying all around with some new, fashionable mixology.”

Standout specialty cocktails, quite a few created by direct mixologist Devon Bennett, involve highlights like the sequence of Old-Fashioneds, like butter pecan, peanut butter and jelly or maple bacon. Other classics involve the Sazerac, mint julep or, for some spice, the Tajín Templeton.
