Old Mate's Place

Oh my, you made it

Pull up a stool.

Leather booths tucked in front of tall bookshelves, plants spilling out of every corner, and a back bar of hundreds of bottles. A hidden hangout above Clarence St with a cocktail list that keeps changing. We take limited reservations, but feel free to just rock on in. The largest booking we can take is 8, and there's always room for walk-ins.

Old Love's

Basement, down the stairs

We hope you like rum. There is a lot of it.

A dark, moody rum bar tucked below Old Mate's, with hundreds of rums on the back bar and a sugar cane press that juices fresh to order. The cocktails lean tiki, built on forgotten Pacific Island and Caribbean recipes with a few modern twists, plus a seasonal daiquiri made from whatever we find at the markets that week.

Snacks are Caribbean inspired and served until late. And out the back, there's a landscaped outdoor courtyard, inspired by a New York alleyway bar: a leafy little oasis in the middle of the city.
