Hands Down

Tucked along Greeves Street, this Fitzroy bolt-hole pairs dark-wood booths with street parklet seating for crisp wines and sharp cocktails. Locals drop in for an unhurried aperitivo on sunny afternoons or retreat inside once the lights dim. The bartenders read the room effortlessly—mixing dry martinis, pouring curated bottles to your taste, or shaking up a mandarin sour. Food stays strictly low-intervention, leaving the focus squarely on the drinks, potato crisps, and a standout gilda.
