Ale connoisseurs can earmark this nifty microbrewery bar in the Kerry Hotel, where resident brew-master Leon Mickelson dispenses six on-tap handmade beers (Skinny Green, pils, White Ant, Indian pale ale, Dugite vanilla stout, Mash) and a cider (Razorback). There’s a huge range of other bottled beers, and Heineken for those who prefer it.

The bar is sleek and cool without being impersonal, and you can hit the terrace for alfresco park views. Prices are steep, though, so target happy hour (3pm to 8pm).
