Grasshopper

The verdict

Situated nicely outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, in Temperance Lane (near the Apple store on George Street, right next to Sneakerboy), this bar-cum-restaurant has been open since early 2010, evidence of its popularity. And you can see why: the owners are committed to integrity in every aspect, whether it be the second-hand furniture, whole and organic foods and wines, or focus on recycling.

The cocktail list is extensive, with a bar menu to fill you up, but if you're after something more substantial head upstairs to the Eating House for an ever-changing food menu.
