About

Set inside the striking Waterfall Building, Ellipsis stands out for the way it moves naturally from coffee bar to cocktail lounge without losing its sense of calm. The room has a clean, considered look that suits the architecture, but it never feels cold or overly formal. Drinks are a real part of the draw, with an original program that blurs the line between café and bar in a way that feels fresh rather than gimmicky. What makes it worth a visit, though, is the balance it strikes between design, service, and atmosphere. It is a place for a thoughtful drink and an unhurried conversation, with enough personality to feel distinctive from the moment you walk in.
