Late bar & kitchen

Still open.
Still cooking.

The lamps stay low and the pans stay hot until one, long after the rest of the street has put its chairs up.

The room at Ush — booths in navy velvet, a lamp low on every table, no windows

Low lamps. Old wood.
Nothing hurried.

About

The room,
plainly.

Two brass lamps turned down on dark wood tables, navy velvet chairs either side
A backgammon board open on dark wood under a brass lamp, dice thrown, the bar behind

The room is under the street, so nothing outside gets in. No windows to tell you the hour, and no music loud enough to stop a conversation.

Mahogany that was here before us, navy velvet that has taken the shape of whoever sat in it longest, and one brass lamp over every table — turned down, never off.

The boards

Three backgammon sets live under the bar. Ask for one — the dice are wooden and the boards are older than the licence.

A board stays out until someone wins. We do not clear it to turn the table.

Come for a drink. Stay because nobody here is going to ask whether you want anything else.

Tonight

Open, and the kitchen is on.

Hot food until one, the full list until we lock up. Walk in — the bar is always kept for whoever arrives.

Brandy poured over one large cube in a cut-crystal glass, a candle behind

The list

Nine drinks.
No more than that.

Short enough to know by heart, and every one of them made from scratch. Ask for what is not on it — the bar will make it if it can.

Cocktails

6 cocktails

Six, and they change when what is growing changes.

A dark berry sour in a coupe, berries on the rim

$14

The rough spirit of the house, softened with lemon and a little egg white until it stops fighting you.

House spirit · lemon · egg white

A bright green herb highball over ice, sprigs standing in the glass

$13

The herb, not the bottle. Bright enough to start the evening on.

Gin · garden herb · soda

An old fashioned in cut crystal, one large cube and a twist of orange

$15

Brandy, walnut bitters, one large piece of ice, one twist of orange.

Brandy · walnut bitters · sugar

A red spritz over ice, fruit and a dried orange wheel in the glass

$12

Sharp, low, and the colour of the last hour of light.

Bitter aperitif · vermouth · sparkling

A coffee cocktail in a coupe, its head settled, roasted beans in a brass dish beside it

$14

For the second half of the night, when you have decided to stay.

Espresso · cognac · demerara

A deep orange fruit fizz in a coupe, berries on the rim

$12

Whatever ripened last, taken seriously.

Vodka · stone fruit · honey

By the glass

3 pours

A short shelf. Ask what is open and we will show you the bottle.

A glass of red on the bar, a candle burning behind it

$9

Dusty, high and dry, and it goes with the lamb.

One red, changed weekly · 150ml

A bottle beside a poured glass of white in low light

$10

Quince and stone. Colder than you expect it to be served.

One white, changed weekly · 150ml

Clear spirit poured neat in a cut-crystal tumbler, no ice

$8

Three of them behind the bar. Room temperature, one glass, no ice.

Three to choose from · 40ml

The kitchen

Hot food until one in the morning.

Not a bar snack menu. Five things, cooked properly, at an hour when nowhere else will cook for you.

A plate of lamb dumplings on the bar counter, bottles and a brass lamp behind it
Lamb dumplings in brown butter with sumac and a spoon of yoghurt

$16

Brown butter, sumac, a spoon of thick yoghurt.

Sausage and cooked-down tomato on grilled bread, a raw yolk on top

$12

Charred grilling cheese with thyme and honey, a candle behind

$13

Charred on the flat top until it squeaks.

Three bowls of pickles — cucumber, gherkin, pink onion

$8

Whatever went into jars in September.

A dark chocolate square with a sweep of sesame paste and seeds

$9

One spoon each. Order it at midnight.

One plate, charred and still steaming, whatever the kitchen had left

The last plate · one o'clock

At one, whatever the kitchen has left goes onto one plate for whoever is still here. No menu, no choosing, one price. Some nights it is lamb. Some nights it is eggs and bread, and those are the good nights.

$12 · while it lasts

Where to sit

Three rooms, and they are not the same room.

Tell us where you want to be when you ask for a table. It changes the evening more than anything on the list does.

The counter at Ush — pendant bulbs low over the wood, glasses set out

Nine stools

The bar

Where the good conversations happen, and the only place we never hold. Walk in and one will be free before long.

No reservations · boards under the counter

A booth at Ush — navy velvet, dark panelling, a brass lamp and a candle

Four booths

The booths

Deep, dark, and built for four people who intend to stay past midnight. These are the ones people ask for.

Ask ahead · up to four each

The terrace at dusk — low chairs under the trees, a lantern on every table

Six tables

The terrace

Under the trees out front, and warm enough from May. The street goes quiet around you at about eleven.

May to October · closes at midnight

Ask for a table

Nine stools · four booths

Tell us when, and we will write back.
Nothing is held until we do.

How many

Two can have a booth, or the bar — which we never hold.

Which night

What time

A table for two. Tell us who it is for and when.
