The Hideout

Take the Stairs Down

Some nights belong upstairs. The better ones end up down here. Follies is Father's Office Downtown's prohibition-era hideaway: gold tiling, green velvet booths, wallpaper shipped in from the UK and Tiffany sconces glowing low.

It's a room built for 1920's outlaw glamour, with a sharp coat, a sharper drink and nowhere you need to be. Come for a nightcap, stay for the stories, and let the bartender handle the rest.

Behind the bar, our basement courtyard is a hidden beer garden for fresh air, greenery and a cold pint of Follies Girl, tucked away from the Flinders Lane crowds. Both Follies and the Emerald Room open straight onto it, and it's heated for the cooler months.
