First drinks: Took a while to decide on as we sized up the various concoctions on offer. We settled for a jug of Coco Nuts - white rum, limoncello, coconut puree and lime juice. The 500ml jug ($26) might seem a little underwhelming when it first arrived but was surprisingly
potent. They also do a tasty sangria mix as well.
The vibe is: Super-relaxed. We arrived early evening on a Saturday, as the afternoon session crowd tailed off and those up for a night out arrived. Whether you're in jandals or high heels, anything goes.
It smells of: Sunscreen, as everyone makes the most of the spacious outdoor courtyard. It's a sunseekers' honeytrap.
On the stereo: The obligatory funky house mix everyone seems to play these days. The speakers line the wall nearest the main bar, so best avoid that area if you want to actually converse with your friends.
