The highlight at this trendy bar is the beautiful back patio -
the

summer nights, with its slick bar, leafy atmosphere and comfy wood booths. The music is
great, too, with DJs spinning from Wednesday to Saturday, and inside there are elegant
low lounges in romantic spaces. A full food menu is available, along with strong cock-
tails.

be seen - preferably in the open air with an icy vodka tonic in hand - on the rooftop ter-
race at this ever-popular watering hole. With its bamboo lounges and billowy curtains, the
place can't be beat for a cool chill-out on a warm summer night. Early in the week reggae
rocks, while Thursdays to Saturdays means pop and '80s tunes.

Saturdays. Same owners as popular Gibraltar (
