ZUMA

After all these years, Zuma remains firmly in our list of favourite bars for a few reasons. First, the constantly evolving cocktail list with its focus on Asian flavours and fresh fruits and vegetables is always a joy to peruse—as is the bar’s extensive list of premium whiskies and sakes designed for the connoisseur. Secondly, as quite often an after-work drink here will turn into several, imbibers are able to order anything from the full restaurant menu should the need for sustenance arise between rounds. Drinks presentation range from the classic to the outrageous, with the “Nekuta & The Venus Flytrap” a particularly wacky offering that begs to be ordered. You can trust the staff to recommend something to suit your palate, but the menu is also helpfully divided stylistically rather than by spirits.
