Description

The buzz: A furniture shop-cum-bar with retro décor and a client list heavily laced with movie moguls, celebs and young hisos.
The décor: Though no longer a furniture showroom, mingling space takes a backseat to the furniture. Retro décor is everywhere, from chairs to lighting, there’s even furniture on a small stage. Table settings are unique and, like everything else, they are for sale.
The music: Easy-listening (70-80s pop) tunes and smooth folk songs with the house band at 9:30pm and 11:30pm.
The crowd: Bachelor/ette(s), citizens of the silver screen, and devotees of the original Y50.
The bill: Red Label B850, Black Label B1,400, Sangsom B300, mixer B40 and beer B100.
Why you’ll come back: Like most people here, you’ll come to talk, drink, chill and listen to soft music with a cool crowd
