Opening at the end of 2020, Cherubino City Cellar seems to have not only survived the pandemic but thrived. It’s almost like a secret speakeasy because it’s tricky to find but it’s definitely worth seeking out. Its entrance is via a back laneway behind Simon Johnson, and when you walk upstairs, it instantly feels like you’ve been transported to another world, an exclusive club full of interesting people, art, walls of wine and designer touches in a space that’s divided into intimate areas with sofas, tables and chairs, coffee tables and bar seating.
