The Plotting Parlour

You'll find yourself on Steine Street in Kemptown, pushing through the door of this place and immediately feeling like you've arrived somewhere that actually cares about what's in your glass. The Plotting Parlour takes its cocktails seriously—expect proper technique, unusual ingredients, and bartenders who know their stuff without being insufferable about it. The decor leans into vintage glamour with a theatrical edge, all dim lighting and intimate corners perfect for actual conversation. It's the kind of bar where you can order a classic or let the team suggest something unexpected, and either way you'll leave impressed.
