Ellipsis Cocktail Lounge

Ellipsis Cocktail Lounge opens at 11AM, which is unusual for a cocktail bar. It's in Malate, dim inside, more lounge than bar, with seats you can sink into for a few hours. Weekends it runs to 4AM.

The cocktails are the reason to go. Tell them what you like and let them build something. There's food if you get hungry, and the music sits low, so it works for a long conversation.

Crowd is mixed. Early it's quiet, a few people drinking through the afternoon. Late night it fills with couples, small groups, and people ending the night somewhere calmer.
