The Vibe

Think Frank Sinatra’s swagger meets a Shoreditch state of mind. At The Duke, we’ve mixed vintage glamour with a contemporary edge, creating a space that feels like a love letter to the golden age of cool. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, our dimly lit corners and plush leather booths invite you to linger a little longer. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time, surrounded by smooth jazz, the hum of easy conversation, and the soft clink of glasses. Come as you are, and leave as you wish you always were.
