An easy stroll from your CBD office, Slip Inn is the ideal mid-week pit stop. Notorious as the place where Fredrick met Mary, the Tuscan-styled courtyard and twinkling lights make this a watering hole fit for a prince. But with prices to rival its neighbours on King Street Wharf, the Slip Inn is the obvious choice for a cheeky beverage.
The Garden Bar fills up quickly weekdays and weekends alike, so get in early if you want a seat in the cushioned booths. This lazy outdoor vibe is high in demand as it provides some balance for the heavier atmosphere of the Main Bar and the chaotic beats of Chinese Laundry beneath the floor boards.
