A clandestine and classy space, located inside Oryx Capital, where the spirit of the Prohibition-Era Speakeasy lives on.
The simplicity of the wooden slabs are reworked by more modern bending techniques, giving Nortico a completely different yet elegant atmosphere.
After the Prohibition, there was a major and permanent shift in American social life. The illicit bars − referred to as blind pigs and gin joints − multiplied, especially in urban areas.
They ranged from fancy clubs with jazz bands and ballroom dance floors to dingy back rooms to basements and rooms inside apartments.
