Even though there isn’t much space for the bartender to make cocktails besides an old fashioned, the drink mixes are certainly bold: In the same glass you might get calvados and yuzu liqueur or umeshu and tequila. You might also find a musician in the corner playing acoustic guitar or an old-fashioned DJ spinning clay discs.
