A
De Bier Haus
With a pavement packed with happy punters, this hot Haus features Belgian beers and sophisticated environs. The interior’s a classic manly hunting lodge with an antler or two in the midst. Kitchen-work is swift and savvy, turning out Euro-offerings such as German sausage, brezels, moules, frites and an excellent squid salad.

B
Cornerstone
A cheerful watering hole attended by on-the-ball staff and a mature crowd (let’s say over 25). A solid no-surprises menu offers whopping meals, while sports fans can watch the game on the big telly and groovers can swing a hip (live music Thursday to Sunday).

Latitude 37
A classy, upmarket bar with stone-faced walls, fold-back windows and flaming torches out the front. A lot of folk come here to eat (brunch $14 to $26, dinner $21 to $42), but it’s a beaut spot for a cold Heineken after a day in the surf.

C
Crown & Badger
A particularly convincing Brit boozer that does pukka pints of Tennent’s and Guinness, and food along the lines of bangers and mash. Things get lively at the weekends when live bands play.
