Different Drummer

I’m seeking a Spanish experience... Well, this lively cocktail and tapas bar is just like something you’d stumble on down a Barcelona back street.
What’s the look? Rustic brick walls, warm red lighting, polished dark wood tables. There are hanging plants in the covered courtyard and a spiral staircase to a quieter, casual dining area upstairs.
Who’s hanging out here? Backpackers, locals, uni students – it’s a real mix.
What’s to drink? Cocktail happy hour is held daily from 6pm-7.30pm. The bar staff mix a mean Margarita and the Raspberry Beret’s not bad either. Jugs of sangria are $28.
I’m hungry! Try the tapas – the spring rolls and prawn wontons go down a treat, as does the delicate tortilla ($10 each). If you’re feeling decadent, order the eye fillet with blue cheese vodka sauce ($18) – it’s pretty special.
How’s the music? It’s a party vibe all the way, with cool jazz and funky latino beats.
Wow factor? You’ve got to love the old-style arcade games machine tucked in a corner, complete with Pacman!
