Palmer & Co

Jump in your time machine back to 1920s prohibition and you’ll find something similar to Palmer & Co. Hidden down an alley and underground, there’s a raucous atmosphere with dapper barmen, flapper waitresses and live music, beside spirits and cocktails that change with the seasons.

The Grasshopper

This small, hidden cocktail haven has won every award going in the industry, and the guys behind the bar know how to make a drink or two. Conscious of their carbon footprint, the furniture is second hand, food is organic and they don’t waste anything that’s good enough to eat – and oh my is there plenty of that! From stir-fried prawns to sticky sweet and sour pork, the menu is to die for.
