Getting in

There is no sign

We are not hard to find once you know. We are impossible to find if you do not.

A bartender straining a stirred cocktail into a coupe behind the bar, warm lamplight and shelves of bottles in the background.

The door

No sign, no light over the step. Look for the brass owl beside the ironmonger's door on Bexley Court, and press it once. Someone will come.
