Ever had someone who’s vaguely in your social group, that you know if you got to spend a good chunk of time with you’d become best friends? That’s how Maybe Sammy’s Stefano Catino and Vince Lombardo felt about working with Matt Whiley of acclaimed cocktail bar Re–. So they decided to make that right, and see what opening a bar together would look like.

The answer? Little Cooler. This neon-lit bar, in the basement that once housed good old Grandma’s, is an ode to the ’80 and ‘90s, from the cocktails right through to the musical stylings of INXS and Run DMC.

About those cocktails – Anejo highballs, Cosmopolitans, Caipirinhas, Screaming Orgasms, Breakfast Martinis are all on the cards here. While the ’90s drink names may be familiar, rest assured, they look (and taste) much better than you remember them.
