Heroes

Overview

Everyone loves a hero. Some people even hold out for one. So when a bar opens with heroes as its namesake, we're, naturally, interested. And when that bar features three levels of karaoke, barbecue and a rooftop bar, we're making a beeline to its front door.

Firstly, you need to find it. Despite it being a very-visible three storeys, you have to ride the elevator from Nitro Lab on Bourke Street — up to the drinking and eating level — to get inside. As soon you step out the elevator, senses are assaulted.

Hit the stellar list of cocktails as your first port of call (there's also a decent selection of local and international wines) — all designed to work well with the Asian flavours coming off the dumpling-focused food menu.

You can also eat and drink in the rooftop garden, one floor up, with its gaudy coloured fibreglass tables.

Karaoke fiends can hit the mic on the floor beneath the bar. You do have to book the karaoke room which will get you two hours of belting out your favourite bangers.
