Before they let you in, they’ll ask you to become a member. But if you value a venue that knows its cocktails and has more than 600 whiskeys and 1,000 spirits on offer, you’ll be glad for the benefits that this free membership bequeaths. Claim your perch at the bar to study that dizzying array of drinks, or else settle into the vintage armchairs and sofas, a slightly better vantage point for admiring all the antiques so artfully arranged everywhere.
