Hidden inside a strip mall in Westlands, Jekyll & Hyde is the kind of bar you unapologetically leave the kids at home for. Dark, sultry and theatrically moody, the space feels like stepping into a gothic fantasy — if Morticia Addams owned a bar with a whisper of BDSM glamour, this would be it. The interior blends shadows, sensuality and artful drama, creating an atmosphere that’s both playful and provocative.
Owned by Elenora Vassiono (Lele), Jekyll & Hyde sets the stage for after-hours escapism. From burlesque nights and themed events to soulful and high-energy live music, the experience is intentionally immersive. Whether you’re sinking into a velvet booth or posted at the bar watching the theatrics unfold, the venue is made for those who crave nightlife with attitude and personality.
At Jekyll & Hyde, the cocktail program is a performance of its own — bold, experimental and delightfully boundary-pushing. The menu isn’t just crafted for flavor, but for story, feeling, and escapism in a glass. Start with its namesake: The Jekyll & Hyde — a strong, bourbon-driven interpretation of the Stone Fence, layered with homemade apple tepache and cider for a dark, seductive finish.
Other standout signatures include:
• The Ophelia — a soft yet complex ode to pear, built with pear soju, gin and liqueur.
• The Mami Wata — inspired by the Trinidad Sour and created as “a tribute to African spirits and bold palates,” in the words of Birungi.
Every drink is crafted with intention, challenging the familiar and celebrating indulgence. For cocktail lovers who enjoy a bit of mystery, mischief, and performance in their glass, Jekyll & Hyde is a must-visit.
