Narrative

It’s all high impact – chicken skin in the butter, sauce roquefort au vin blanc in the dry-aged cheeseburger – so go for small volume, leaning on the wine list and cocktails (the strawberry and clarified tomato gimlet is a standout) to keep things in check, with plenty of pauses between tracks.

🔮 The centrepieces may be the rippled mirror finish on the bar and the vintage speakers, but as much as the focus seems to be on the drinks and the vinyl at Bar Outro, there’s far more under the hood.
