The Vesper Club Lives On
A modern day twist on the traditional supper club, Vesper is breathing new life into the former private Vesper Club. This new approach promises delicious food, classically-inspired cocktails, and live music and dancing every night. Check out the black rotary wall phone bearing the old Vesper number - PE5-7810. This phone - next to a bookcase - is a hotline to the downstairs bar. Pick up the phone and speak the password to seek admittance, and the bookcase will open as a door leading downstairs.
