Last night I visited a great little bar in the city called Little Peninsula on Little Lonsdale between Queen and Elizabeth.
It’s great for a Friday night because the place is a crowded and lively and, unlike many city bars, doesn’t suffer from too many suits standing around with their laptop bags looking like they’re preparing for a 2am business proposal.
It’s a small place, with enough space for standing or sitting, and they mix up some fantastic drinks. I had the bet mojito I’ve had since travelling in South America and a great concoction called a Berrini with a layer of sparkling wine over a layer of crushed berries and vodka served in a champers glass.
The staff is friendly, the music is great (there’s an in-house DJ spinning behind the bar) and the atmosphere is perfectly chill without being sleepy. There are a lot of great places for a drink on a Friday night, but this one is perfect if you’re meeting up with a few friends and want somewhere intimate but upbeat for good conversation.
And hey, being scrunched into a little bar makes for some good conversations between strangers too. Many a romance has started with “Uh you’re standing on my foot.”
