Atmosphere : Shades of Retro is the place where you can just randomly walk in alone, have a drink, and just gaze out to nowhere thinking about life. Here you will find yourself surrounded by vintage furniture, decors, clothes, accessories, and even some cool bikes. Some of them are for sale. You can ask all the lovely staff just about anything.

Distilled drinks are the main focus here. Instead of food and draft beer, they give you a refillable bowl of hot brew popcorn and a Jagermeister tab. The cocktails are all super gorgeous. Most of them are depictions of its own history with some of its favourite customer friends such as "Yuki Suffers", "Suriyes", "Kong". Sometimes you could even get lucky for extra shots or upsized glasses once you've become one of the regulars.


Even after countless visits Shades of Retro still offers an oddly warm feeling just like when you visit a friend's house.

Atmosphere : Iron Fairies has a really great concept for itself, that shows tremendous dedication and effort for making everything happen, along with wonderful cocktails, friendly people, great jazz, and good food that comes in generous portion. You can also shop for some books and real iron fairies, all handcrafted, at a small workshop behind the bar. Looking up the spiral staircase stands a compact space just enough for a quartet and a singer. What I love most about this place is the toilet under the stairs with its vintage bath tub, floating candles, and a black and white movie. Also in case anyone wants a private party you can book a VIP room upstairs hidden as a secret chamber. Ash, the owner, is always an active blackberry user.
