This CBD bar is all about Daiquiris, disco and dancing. Razz Room takes inspiration from New York’s 1970s nightclubs. Come early for excellent bar snacks, stay late to hit the dance floor.

Caravin Deux is only 180 metres from its older two-storey sibling, and it leans a bit more casual. The walk-ins-only bar is moodily lit, with a wine fridge and open kitchen wrapping the walls.

With about 30 wines by the glass on offer at any one time, Claret Club is a wine bar in the purest sense. Pours range from local pét-nat, chardonnay and verdicchio, to zingy jacquere.
