Dear witches & wizards, welcome!
Congratulations, you’ve stumbled upon our little “coven” full of magic potions, tinctures, concoctions & elixires all wrapped up with psychedelic look & feel of the 70’s. Does this feel familiar? If yes, you are right, our little bar draws inspiration from the 1977 movie of the same name by Dario Argento, as well as Thomas de Quincey’s book from 1845 “Suspiria de Profundis”.
Our cocktails, that we lovingly refer to as potions, also draw inspiration from all things dark & magical underlined with occasional bright colour resulting in unforgettably bold tastes. Each potion uses unconventional ingredients, lots of herbs made into special tinctures, psychedelic elixires & distinguished spirits all crafted into something unique by Michael Korkia (aka Dwarkin) of “Redrum Art Bar” fame. We can’t guarantee that you will like each potion, but we can guarantee you that you will find ones for you. Read our book of potions carefully, or ask our friendly witches for help.
How could our Book of potion be complete without good brews, nectars, elixires & spirits, so try our wide selection of Absinthe, Gin, Tequila, Mezcal, Rum, Whisky, herbal and psychedelic liqueurs. Each selected with care for their exceptional taste, quality & effects.
In case your palette is not quite up to the task of potions & spirits, don’t be afraid, we thought about you too, hence we offer you a selection of wine & special beer.
Lastly, we also tend to you, non-drinkers, with a small non-alcoholic selection including mocktails, which, upon your request, can be designed according to your taste using ingredients on our shelves.
So mote it be!
P.S. Please, don’t ask for what is NOT on the menu, you can find standard drinks in other places.
P.P.S. We play music only from our special selection of CD’s, hence, unless you brought one of your own, don’t ask for us to play your choice.
P.S.P.S. Non-compliance with the above can get you cursed! Remember, we are witches! 😉
