Lulu’s Lounge
With its raw brick walls coloured by graffiti and ultraviolet scribbles, Lulu’s Lounge is one bar with personality. Offering the melodies of jazz, playful twists on classic cocktails and light bar snacks, guests can expect all the characteristics of a 1960s New York backstreet club here. Enjoy inconspicuous post-dinner drinks or let your hair down and dance into the early hours with DJ beats or even burlesque shows. Drinks-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice with cocktails: Try the Rolling Stone Sour (with gin and apricot brandy) or go for The Morning After, a mix of vodka, menthol gin liqueur and plum bitters.

Skinny’s Lounge
The thing about Skinny’s is that almost everything is pretty affordable, which makes happy hour last all night long. Its laid-back atmosphere and the main draw, the karaoke room, are bonuses on top of the cocktails and drinks – and that 3am closing time! From beers and wines to glasses of gin and rum, there’s a little bit of everything here. Even cocktail towers like Pimm’s 2.0 with fruits and lemonade for communal toasts.

BQ Bar
“We’re only having one drink” is a blatant lie we constantly tell ourselves when we’re chillin’ at BQ Bar. The fact of the matter is, we usually end up getting round after round of cocktails, beer buckets and group shots, ‘cos we just love the vibe and the exuberant crowd at this party-centric bar. Tip: Arrive before 10pm to score a seat at the breezy outdoor area.
