Our take

Cocktail Bar in Historic Centre

A rum-led institution where tropical references, serious technique and a colourful urban room come together without feeling formal.

Baba Au Rum works especially well for rum, cocktail enthusiasts and late drinks. The atmosphere is energetic and connoisseur-friendly. Check the official channel before making a special trip, since schedules, events and seasonal opening can change.
