The multisensory sanctuary
Step into Chapter 1896, where serenity and sophistication converge in an intimate, hidden world. Our speakeasy cocktail bar is a refuge for cultured, erudite, and philosophical minds seeking a space to reflect, converse, and indulge. Steeped in the timeless elegance of a bygone era, our vintage-inspired setting invites you to step back into a world where every detail is thoughtfully curated to stimulate the senses and ignite the imagination.
Open Wednesday to Saturday 17h00 – 01h00. Taking reservations for events only.
Mixology
In the dim light of Chapter 1896, mixology transcends mere drink-making—it is an art form where classic techniques meet innovative ideas. Each cocktail is a carefully crafted chapter, inspired by the richness of the seven liberal arts. Imagine a drink that captures the essence of philosophy, where every ingredient is chosen not just for its flavours, but for the ideas it represents. Or a cocktail that reflects the precision of mathematics, balanced to perfection with a blend of classic techniques and avant-garde innovation.
Our bar manager, a modern-day alchemist, draws on these ancient arts to create drinks that are as engaging as they are delightful. Each sip is a step into a world where taste, aroma, and aesthetics come together to tell a story—one that invites you to ponder, to discuss, and to savour the experience.
At Chapter 1896, your drink isn’t just a refreshment; it’s a narrative waiting to unfold.
