Honourable mentions

SQUIRE’S LOFT: Here’s one drinking den where you’ll spot Subi squires holding their pints of lager aloft in full revelry enjoying their night - or knight - out.

FENWAY: They say burgers, beer and sports is what they do best, but we reckon they do a damn good Long Island Iced Tea too. Yes, of course it comes with vodka, white rum, gin and tequila. Didn’t detect any tea.

THE UNICORN BAR: We all know unicorns never horse around. They get right to the point. And you’ll spot a few at the bar after a few sneaky Arnold Palmers (gin-based cocktail with a splash of iced tea) at this popular neighbourhood bar.

LUMS: We’re all a little bit in love with Lums. Sit on the deck with a glass of vino from the curated wine list, and you may never again opt for opening a bottle at home.

JUANITA’S: Come as you are. Drink what you like. That’s how things roll at this joint that doubles as your own living room or deck. That’s why we love it.

DELISIO: There’s always a pavement party happening here. And it’s definitely not a pity one. Choose from limoncello to vino rosso or a West Coast lager to get the party started.

RESTAURANT CALEB: sneak away from the crowd up to one of Subi’s hidden rooftop secret bars and enjoy a Malibu Bay Breeze, a mix of rum, pineapple and cranberry juice.
