A good bar pours drinks with care, keeps the room comfortable enough to talk in, and has staff who can steer you towards something you will enjoy. If you are unsure what to order, tell the bartender which flavours you like, such as citrus, bitter, smoky or sweet, and ask for a suggestion. A bar on an upper floor is worth checking for lift access and the entrance before a first visit. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest, so booking ahead, or arriving early, makes it easier to find a seat. Regulars often go on a weeknight, when there is more room to chat with the bartender and try something off the usual list. It also helps to ask whether food is served so you can eat alongside your drinks.
For anyone planning an evening out near Orange Grove Road, Kaya at The Standard is a well-reviewed place for a drink.
