Hugo’s Lounge
The drinks menu at Hugo’s Lounge is never ending, and with that they offer a large selection of mocktails too. The best thing about the drinks at Hugo’s is that Happy Hour starts at 1pm every day, and goes on till closing time on Wednesdays, 7pm on Sundays, and 6pm the rest of the week. That’s a tonne of hours to grab your 2 for 1. 😉
Hammett’s Gastro Bar
Just like with their food, Hammett’s is super original with their drinks, sporting flavours you won’t find anywhere else: The White Mule (coconut milk, mango purée, lime juice, lemongrass syrup, ginger beer), White Mule Asian Ice Tea (thai basil, ginger & lime infused matcha tea) and the Dragon Fruit Faujito (dragon fruit purée, agave syrup, fresh lime, mint, soda) are options you can expect to find at this Asian-fusion eatery. 🍹
