hi
i have a group of friends that want to dress up a bit and and head out on the Saturday for some good cocktails. i have no idea where a good bar in the city is to enjoy some good cocktails. has to be a flashy place with bar tenders that know what there doing, and not to crowed. any suggestions? |

You can hire people to come to you and make cocktails... might be worth checking into. That way you could do something funky like a cocktail pool party or something.

there are several good ones in the valley but I don't know of any in the city beyond shadow lounge.
In the valley: Bowerie (on Ann st opposite the Beat), Press Club, Sunbar, Garuva (down wickham tce 30m past the wickham). There are I think a few in Brunswick st mall around the middle just past Rics on either side. |

Try one degree on Eagle Street Pier. Its under Vinos behind the Maccas. Great selection, nice atmosphere - small venue.
Great cockatils - though I heard the manager is now dating a particular product rep which has changed the place a bit. |

There are I think a few in Brunswick st mall around the middle just past Rics on either side. Kaliber, nextdoor to Rics. They've got 25 flavours of Vodka and 3 flavours of absinthe. Nice cocktail list too :D |

Yeah my partner used to be on the bar there.
Its alright. I dont know - feels a little sterile or something to me - something about the fit out. Its alright if you can get out onto the little balcony though. |

another vote for Cru Bar, Saturday its packed just like any other place though :(
If you want somewhere you can actually get to the bar and sit down etc, the Piano Bar at the top of Joseph Alexanders does awesome cocktails. |
