‘You have to go there – it looks like it’s been dropped in from New York.’ So speaketh the friend who popped into 1897 to pick up a packet of cigarettes only to drag us both back there an hour later. And she wasn’t kidding. Low-level lighting and even lower-slung sofas with padded banquettes hugging the walls are countered with a laid-back atmosphere that’s rarely seen in a city where style is measured in flash. A DJ sets the tone with chilled beats and the drinks list offers some surprising combinations – lavender and black pepper martini, anyone? Not the kind of bar you’d expect to find next to a mall – but that makes discovering it for yourself all the sweeter.
