Wayward feels like a 1940s speakeasy lounge/bar where people can chill while listening to some cool old-school tunes reflecting the vibe of its downstairs brother, The Good Son. Offering an inviting and comfortable environment to enjoy after-dinner drinks, this lounge definitely lends itself to guests enjoying the sounds of live jazz or R&B music (hint hint), but until then their house DJ plays fabulous old school tunes just loud enough to still enjoy a conversation with friends.
