The first place you must check out for a truly unique and unforgettable drinking experience is Tea Baa. Although it is technically more than a bar, Tea Baa is quickly becoming the number one destination for people looking for more out of their time out. By emphasising simplicity, Tea Baa bases all of their drinks on tea, combined with flavours like sugarcane, lime, strawberry and peach with rum, wine and gin. These cold teas, with or without alcohol also perfectly complement their exciting menu of grilled beef, pork and white fish. Slow cooked lamb and coconut rice goes great with the crowd favourite, sugarcane lime tea.

AM&PM

Bar

Sometimes you need a bar that is set up to cater for more than just your drinking needs and give you a refreshing space outside. It is a great place to enjoy live matches from European leagues with American or British-style food during the day, and vodka and cocktails over boxing bouts at night. The décor as well will also put you in the perfect mood for sports with quotes from some of your heroes like Mohammed Ali and Pele adorning the walls.
