The Wise King

Following in the footsteps of last year’s most spectacular new bar, The Old Man, The Wise King is an independent venture set up by industry veterans Joe Villanueva (formerly of Lobster Bar) and Sandeep Kumar (a two-time Bacardi Grand Prix National Champion).

As well as tapas offerings, expect creative cocktails in the cosy lounge venue. Highlights include the likes of The Monti-Tipple ($108) – a mix of Xeco Amontillado sherry, Gin Mare, Café Vermouth and aromatic choco bitters – and the barrel-aged Pacharán Manhattan ($98), featuring with Woodford Rye whiskey, Blackthorn liqueur and Abott’s bitters.
