Cookie

DJs play a mix of jazzy house, funk, disco and just about anything good that was ever pressed into vinyl. The Thai restaurant serves meals such as fish salad, fish custard (seriously) and pizza. Oh yeah, and the beer never stops.

The amazing array of tap beers includes stubbie-and-singlet classics like Carlton Draught and Fosters as well as other 'let's-fall-over' ales such as Mountain Goat, Leffe Blonde, Asahi, Hoegaarden - and the list goes on and on ... then stops. The massive... hang on, that deserves a capital... Massive selection of spirits will never leave you wanting, except perhaps for respite.

You'll also find one of the best cocktail bars in town tucked out the back. One favourite drink here is the Long Island Iced Tea, served in a deathly, foot-long flute shaped glass. Another good one to try is the espresso martini, which provides a much-needed kick along with ever-welcome inebriation.

On some nights, Cookie bears more than a passing resemblance to a viking booze den. This place offers everything you could need on a night out - alas, without the serving wenches ... Oh wait, there they are.
