The new bar replaces ``Hunter’s Tavern,’’ which had been popular among business guests for its wide selection of whiskies and other spirits.
BLUSH, distinguished by an exquisitely designed decor inspired by the color and image of flowers, has two separate bars and five private rooms. The bar’s executive chef Ivan Susanj will create a variety of dishes accompanied by cocktails and other drinks. The bar is also equipped with state-of-the-art audio equipment that will add to its club-like atmosphere.
