How you may ask? By bringing tea into your pub experience. This tea bar combines the worlds of tea and spirits by housing over 400 tea-infused spirits. 

Founder Dario Knox and bar manager Macarena Rotgers sourced tea leaves from all over the world to create their own blend of spirits infused with tea. Now that’s pretty interesting.
