Groovy, warm, house-led nights with cocktails in hand. In summer the room runs on a customised playlist, and through the winter season our DJs play every Friday and Saturday.

A new destination

Word travels fast in the city, but the best stories are kept in the shadows. For those who have mastered the underground energy of Sous Sol, a parallel world awaits just a few steps above. Introducing The Tender Room — a high-end transit lounge inspired by the grit of the open road, sharp tailoring, and the slow ritual of classic mixology. Two distinct moods, one shared circle.
