Low-lit and eclectic within, this bar has a split personality and plenty of events. Wine tastings, DJs, live funk sessions and quiet cocktails all feature. The atmosphere changes accordingly.
Imagine the mystique of a gypsy's secret treasure box tipped straight into a sexy boudoir setting. That's the style to expect when you step into this basement bar.
Crimson walls, dark shadows and stiff drinks all set the scene, along with mirror balls, candles, and drapes made of strung glass beading. Yes, the ambience here is oh-so-eclectic, and well, so is Chaise's weekly event line-up.
Monday is always dedicated to intimate lounge cocktails, while Tuesday is all about wine tasting sessions. By Wednesday Chaise morphs into a live jazz den, and on Thursday it vibrates to the stylings of DJs and funk bands. DJ sounds continue with old-school and vocal house taking hold on Friday, and retro disco fever reigns on Saturday.
Behind the bar, there are more than 90 bottled beers from around the world. Two-for-one beer and Champagne deals are available on Friday evenings. Cocktail aficionados are also well catered for. Order up a Sonny Cheeba: it mixes Absolut Citron with Jagard, lemon myrtle, creme de gimbre, apple juice and lemon.
