Muro

Muro calls itself a modern Asian social club, which in practice means a bar, a restaurant and a coffee destination under one roof on Museum Road. The cocktail list is written, in its words, to keep pace with the kitchen, which cooks Thai and Cantonese, and it is poured from an island bar on the ground floor under hanging brass lights. The bar menu opens with the line that bold decisions require liquid courage; the breakfast menu answers that bold mornings require liquid sunshine. Weekdays from noon, weekends from nine in the morning, and one in the morning every night.
