I happened to be in the area and stumbled across it open before it's official opening date, but much of the menu and most the drinks were available. The owners did a handsome job of remodeling and redecorating the space, with dark wood, wine-colored damask wallpaper and wainscoting. The physical configuration inside is completely different, with the intimate, often crowded bar area walls removed and a larger, open space devoted to drinkers. It has a Victorian house of ill repute sort of decor, apparently modeled on such an institution of the same name that the owner admired in Amsterdam.
The menu is focused on vegetarian items, being constructed by Meagan Lass, a former chef at Cafe Flora. The drinks are much more redolent of a steady neighborhood dive, focused on the basics and generally poured with a heavy hand.
