upstairs 141 Stuart St; 5pm-late Tue-Sat)
Tartan wallpaper, a roof deck and
great cocktails leave the dressed-up clientele looking pleased to be seen somewhere so
deadly cool. DJs spin deep house until late on the weekends, and there's live jazz on Fri-
day evenings.

12 The Octagon; 10am-late)
Nelson's Mac's brewery is making a strike deep
into Speights' territory in the form of this funky bar right on the Octagon. It's the sunniest
spot for an afternoon drink, and after the sun sets there's often live music.

200 Rattray St; 11.30am-late)
Busy even in the nonuniversity months, the
Ale House is a favourite of strapping young lads in their cleanest dirty shirts. It's a good
spot to watch the rugby on TV and to try the full range of Speight's beers.
Pequeno

behind 12 Moray Pl; 5pm-late Mon-Fri, 7pm-late Sat & Sun)
Down the alleyway op-
posite the Rialto cinema, Pequeno attracts a sophisticated crowd with leather couches, a
cosy fireplace and an excellent wine and tapas menu. Music is generally laid-back and
there's live jazz on Fridays.
COCKTAIL BAR
Tonic

;
138 Princes St; 4pm-late Tue-Fri, 6pm-late Sat)
Limited-release Kiwi craft beers,
single-malt whiskies and good cocktails appeal to a different crowd than Dunedin's nu-
merous student pubs. Antipasto plates, cheeseboards and pizza are good reasons to stay
for another drink.
BAR
Urban Factory
(

;
101 Great King St; 10pm-3am)
The hippest of NZ's touring bands, regular
DJ sessions and carefully crafted cocktails.
