 Once checked in, we are first impress by the space mixing modernity and traditional decor. The whole venue is filled with copper pipes and an old distiller, which brings back memories of the ancient distilleries. However, from the wood and metal aspect of the walls to the long black tables boarded by electric red chairs and black leather seats, you will feel timeless, between past and present.
