Bar Studio 1

Typical queue

Generally minimal on weeknights, but because the physical vault is quite compact and intimate, you can expect a tight squeeze or a short wait outside on Friday and Saturday nights past midnight.

Best night

22:30 onwards on weekends when the candlelit tables fill out, the bartenders hit their mixing stride, and the crowd begins to socialize warmly.

Locals vs visitors

A fabulous, high-vibe mix of stylish gay locals, queer cocktail connoisseurs, lesbians, and design-minded international travelers who appreciate exceptional drinks over standard well-shots.

Dress code in practice

Smart-casual to trendy. Think sharp layers, dark denim, crisp streetwear, or sleek black club fits. It is a classy joint, so leave the messy rave tank tops at home.

Staff inclusion

The internal bar team is renowned for their meticulous attention to detail and engaging service, running a safe, warm, and highly inclusive space. Note, honey: A few recent online review platforms have pointed out that the door staff can occasionally be a bit strict to keep the inside from overcrowding.
