open 7 days · till late
Babylon was the birthplace of hospitality, where the roads of the ancient world crossed and strangers became friends over a drink.
Ours is a modern crossroads. An alfresco terrace above Riverside Market, open to the air and above the rush below. Drinks cold in the afternoon sun, a negroni as the light dips, and always something good in your glass.
A door held open. A seat in the sun. A stranger made welcome. An oasis found.

From espresso to espresso martini. Good things, simply shared.
An alfresco terrace bar, open to the air and a step above everything below. Warm breeze, fresh air, and an easy indoor-outdoor flow for when the weather turns.
Open through the afternoon and late into the night, with a slow start in the sun, a long lunch, and drinks right through dinner. The afternoon stretches without apology, the drinks stay cold, and the conversation lingers long after the plates are cleared.
Birthdays, engagements, team long-lunches and the occasions worth staying late for.
Feasting menus, canapés on arrival, drinks packages and exclusive hire, for small groups through to the whole floor.

celebrationsA place in the sun, handed to someone you like. The oldest kind of welcome. A door held open, now something you can wrap.
