About Chronicles Bar

Fitzroy Street’s easiest evening roost pairs a dedicated Hi-Fi sound setup with rotating craft taps and mezcal flights. Locals treat the room like an unpretentious extension of home—sipping dry martinis while staff steer them toward small-batch finds. When dinner calls, neighbouring kitchens run Sri Lankan curries and hot pizza straight to the table.

  • Hi-Fi Sound System: A dedicated sound setup and curated music programming shape the room without competing with conversation.
  • Partner Restaurant Menus: Guests can order Sri Lankan plates from 3 Elephants next door or pizza delivered directly to the bar.
  • Guided Spirit Flights: Bartenders steer guided tastings and flights across an evolving back bar of mezcal, whiskey, and craft beer.

  • Espresso Martini

    Decided to try their own special Espresso Martini mix, on the dry side, which is how I like it. Vodka obvious but not overpowering. Delicious.
