Another solid spot from the M&B chain—perfect for a relaxed evening drink with a cozy ambience. I sampled the St. Germain Hugo Spritz (elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, soda, and fresh mint), the Monkey 47 gin paired with Mediterranean tonic, and a smooth Disaronno Amaretto. Each drink was well-crafted and enjoyable—great for winding down the day.
