Hanky Panky: the hidden speakeasy bar at Tigermilk
Hanky Panky is tucked away at the top of Tigermilk restaurant. The neo-Mexican cuisine spot on Louise de Bettignies place in Lille opened its speakeasy bar a few months ago. For newcomers, it's a very intimate bar with a vintage British vibe. "Hanky Panky, is the place to go for a stolen moment. Buttoned armchairs, chesterfields, velvet chairs, floral wallpaper, and vintage furniture... This top floor brings together all the elements to create the intimate and secretive atmosphere of English clubs. An atmosphere that sets a real contrast with the first two floors of the restaurant." Ideal for starting or ending the evening, Hanky Panky will ensure you a unique experience for a 100% Tigermilk night.
