The bookcase face
The hidden entrance in the Cafe Apartments — no big sign, just the bookcase door regulars know.

KRYSTALINI
A cocktail bar hidden behind a bookcase door in the Cafe Apartments: red light, velvet drapes and a neon sign — open daily 16:00–00:00.
The bookcase door — two faces of one hideaway
A bookcase outside, red light inside
Krystalini is a true hideaway: step through the bookcase door in the old cafe-apartment block and you're in a room washed red — velvet drapes, red stools and the KRYSTALINI neon over the bar.
The red-light face
Inside, washed in red: backlit bottle shelves, red fabric drapes, the neon sign and red stools along the bar.
Three frames to open
The neon sign, the red shelves and the bar counter — how an evening at Krystalini opens.
The neon back bar
The KRYSTALINI neon over red-lit bottle shelves — the bar's identifying frame.
Red on red
Lit shelves and red stools under red light — the whole room in one colour.
Behind the bookcase
The bar counter with its bartender, red fabric pendants and the neon sign above.
Inside the hideaway
Red, velvet and neon — Krystalini through the house's photos.
