The leafy green calmness of Voi’s appealed to us on many occasions as we rode past so we popped in for a drink to check it out but the menu is so interesting we ended up staying for a nibble. As our first visit was early evening, we ordered avocado wedges to accompany our drinks.

Hill Station has always been an attractive spot to stop for a drink but I’ve previously found the staff to be uninterested and unhelpful. Not any more. We popped in for an afternoon drink as I heard they have a new manager and it definitely shows. Service is now quick, friendly and knowledgeable.

Finally, there is somewhere in Maitland to get excited about!
We dropped in to Coquun initially for an after work drink and were so pleasantly surprised we returned for dinner the following night.

We have so many favourite restaurants and bars on Koh Samui that it’s easy to fill our days and nights but it’s also fun to check out new options which is why we stopped at Beach in Bangrak. So glad we did!

Great vibe, super friendly and comfortable – Havana Cafe is a terrific little spot for lunch (it’s shaded!), afternoon drinks or a nightcap on the way home. Food is great particularly the Cuban but the tapas plates are also a nice change if you’re looking for something other than Vietnamese food.

Stopped by for a drink on the way home from the beach and loved it! Positioned between Cua Dai Road and the fish farms behind, it’s mostly open air with mix of casual bar table seating and lounges creating a relaxed and funky vibe.

Loving the Vietnamese food in Hoi An but on the weekend we treat ourselves to something different and this week it was Mexican at Hola Taco. It was quiet when we arrived and we had a good choice of tables so we chose the balcony/street side as the inside was stiflingly hot.

We first stopped in for afternoon drinks which were cold and cheap, but the welcome was so friendly that, after looking at the menu, we decided to venture back for dinner a few nights later.

Two things drew us to 96 for dinner. Firstly, the riverside location is tops for people watching in the crazy centre of the old town but even better and secondly, they advertised their drinks with very fair prices (compared to most in this area) clearly displayed out front.

We had a function in Newcastle recently so given the location of The Grand Hotel and the many positive reviews online, it was an easy choice. We weren’t disappointed. There are many different room categories and the level of amenities relates to the price (as you would expect) with some rooms larger, sharing facilities, etc.

Being on the 99th floor of the IFC building with views across Guangzhou, there was never a chance this wasn’t going to be jaw-dropping. The stunning bar dominates the entrance and inside the atmosphere is dark and moody (we arrived around 6.00pm on an overcast evening). Background music was well chosen and not too loud to prevent conversation.

We came across De Salita while staying nearby and initially thought is was more of a ‘beer bar’ but when we popped in for a cleansing ale, we checked out their menu and decided to give it a go. Very glad we did. We all (3) went for pastas and they were some of the nicest we’ve sampled in recent times.

We arrived mid-week without a booking and found they were fully booked due to hosting a product launch. Not to worry, the lovely young lady who greeted us suggested we take a table on the verandah of the bar and we could nibble from the bar menu. Having already looked at the menu online, we were more than happy to do that as we had already had a large lunch anyway.

Chok Dee Bar is one of our favourite places for a drink in Choeng Mon. Even though it is on the main road, it has an open air, beachy feel which is perfect for a stop in the late afternoon but it’s also a relaxed spot for drinks late into the night. The lovely sisters who run the bar are friendly and quick to make everyone feel welcome whether its couples, friends or families.

I’m uncomfortable categorizing Cocktail King as a bar because it never feels like that for us – the relaxed and friendly atmosphere make it more of a hangout that serves alcohol. Meena and Rakk are wonderful hosts, always smiling and ready with a recommendation for drinks or suggestions for tours, etc but only when requested.
