Bringing a certain LA rooftop sexiness to
Sandakan, Balin is your best bet for nightlife in the city centre. The three tiers of uberchill
lounge space are accented by a factory's worth of pillows and some genuinely classy
cocktails that any boutique 'mixologist' bar in London or New York would be justifiably
jealous of.
