Bell-Boy is a cocktail bar that I visit every time I need escapism alongside my drink. Beside great cocktails that come in fabulous vehicles (bath with duck toy, fish shaped flask or a shell, and there are more), the decoration of the bar, which located on the first floor of a boutique hotel, was carefully built to provide you an illusion of somewhere faraway in history (I like to pretend it's New-Orleans, and the era is just before the 20th century arrives).
The place's motto is "drink cocktail, because somewhere in the world it's 5 PM". I'm not sure why you should drink cocktails only at 17:00, and I must admit that it sounds like it was few cocktails after 17:00 when they came up with this unreliable piece of advice. Luckily, when it comes to cocktails, they are presenting strict perfection.
In the menu you'll find a nice variety of worthy dishes, my favorite is the beef tartar. No matter what, don't miss the bathroom, even if you don't need to go. Unless you're under 25, because then, there is an age limit of 25. If you are under it and still want to visit, talk with me and I'll see if I can manage something.
