BAR, BARBEQUE
(27th St, 68/69; beer K850-1700, cocktails K2800-4500; 10am-11pm)
This convivial open-
sided bar-pavilion cleverly combines the best points of a beer-and-barbecue station with
a low-key, musically eclectic cocktail bar, adding a tourist-friendly food menu to boot.
It's a sociable place to unwind and some of the decorative local artefacts are a century
old. Two-for-one happy-hour cocktails 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
MR2 Pub
COCKTAIL BAR
(80th St, 16/17; espresso/juice/cocktails K1000/1600/3500; 9am-11pm)
The animated
youthful clientele don't seem quite poised enough for the cutting-edge music and design
of this smooth bar, which softens its neo-Bauhaus architecture with fountain pool, col-
oured lights and giant floral paintings. Restaurant by day.
Emperor

(Kandawgyi Pat Rd at 85th St; draft beer K1000)
