The three pours
No theatrics, no noise — just precision in every glass: Japanese whisky treated like ritual, and a bowl of phở reborn in glassware.
Phở-Inspired Cocktail
Star anise, cinnamon, cardamom — the soul of a phở bowl in a cocktail glass. The signature only CLIMB pours.
The Nightly Pour
The bartender's seasonal pour — ask the bar what's new tonight, and let them decide.
After the climb
The bar, the whisky shelf, the floor's neon glow — the hidden room across two floors of the alley.
