Second Floor: TJING TJING ROOFTOP BAR:
Enveloped in wooden mansards in a 200 year old attic, its signature Japanese shrine-inspired red bar takes center stage since Tjing Tjing Rooftop Bar opened its doors in 2011. Lounge-style seating is complemented by bar-height tables and luxurious indigo wallpaper with embroidered bathing Macaque monkeys. Three kokeshi doll tables subtly infuse layers of personality and Japanese subculture. The Samurai warrior doll represents the past, the Harajuku doll symbolises the present, with the Cyberpunk doll infusing a Japanese futuristic twist. The bar opens up to an airy outside rooftop terrace and is well known for its current indie and electronic music.
You can expect a selection of bespoke cocktails (including classics by request), Japanese whisky, gin and sake as well as an extensive wine list, including Tjing Tjing's own house wine, made by David & Nadia Wines.
