| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 A restored former drugstore turned warm vintage cocktail bar, Balius pairs well-made drinks and house vermut with sharing plates, and hosts live jazz some nights. It is a genuine neighbourhood living room rather than a tourist destination. The marble bar and old façade carry real charm.
