Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The homepage is structured as a narrative sequence rather than a conventional bar menu or booking page. Its central account follows Cretan captain Alekos Drakonas from a damaged map found in Marseille in 1925 to a lantern-bearing arrival at an island shore, then connects that story to a venue marked “Est. 1931.” Visitors can navigate through “The Story” and “The Hour,” while “Notify me” points toward the planned March 2027 reopening.
