The Hunter is a boutique hangout; it is cool and curated, boasting an adventurous drinks menu of wine and cocktails. The African-inspired venue is rather impressive and offers an interior just as vibrant as the crowd it attracts. The food menu is equally exciting with colourful share plates to punctuate the gourmet-designed drinks.

Whether its beers bar-side, or cocktails in the courtyard, there’s a reason locals are tight-lipped about this place.
