Department Of Magic

You'll descend into Blair Street's cobbled chaos and find yourself in a space that takes its magic theme seriously without tipping into gimmickry. The bartenders actually know their craft—these aren't thrown-together Instagram serves, but considered cocktails built with proper spirit knowledge and technique. It's the kind of place where you can order a classic Negroni and watch someone who cares deeply about their job make it right, or venture into their house creations if you're feeling adventurous. The atmosphere strikes that tricky balance between sophisticated and unpretentious; you'll see suited professionals alongside students, all equally welcome. On Blair Street itself, you're right in the Old Town heart where things get properly lively on weekends.
