The Green Light

Cocktail bar · Fayetteville Street

"First go to the Architect Bar; then head upstairs. If the green light is on, look for the hidden door in the bookcase and head on through to enjoy the Green Light. This speakeasy offers vintage vibes and expertly crafted cocktails for both aficionados and newbies alike. The bar doesn’t publish a menu or even feature drinks on its social media, so the entire experience is truly a surprise. The space is small so reservations are highly recommended." - Matt Lardie
