Behind a nondescript door in Bangsar Shopping Centre’s The Othrs, a barbershop, lies this speakeasy that’s worth sussing out. It’s a small space that serves up chic, clandestine feels and delicate cocktails for a discreet after-dinner date out here in Bangsar. The bar is manned by David Hans, an up and coming mixologist who holds claims to many creative concoctions. Let loose and stray away from your usuals for a more exciting experience — that points you first to the Eastern Poem (RM45), a combination of chrysanthemum gin, yuzu tonic water, ginger rootlets and intriguingly, pei pa koa syrup (a Chinese herbal syrup commonly used to soothe coughs). Ladies will love the floral-fragrant English Whisper (RM45), which blends earl grey-infused gin with elderflower sauvage, grapefruit juice and vermouth. The common factor in these is sublime presentation; the former in a cup painted with Chinese fairies, the latter in a refined English tea cup and saucer.
