Sugar Reef Bar

From the outside sugar reef looks a pretty exclusive venue with its ornate frontage and its straight faced bouncers. Within it is a large and noisy room with a scattering of round tables all occupied with a bar at the end of the room. To be honest it feels much like wading through [...]

The Litten Tree Pub

A large dance floor and a big bar pretty much sums up the litten tree. For me the name declares a small local pub but this is a male dominated cheesy 80s music easy listening Selectric’s of a venue. Drinks are pretty pricey setting you back around 320 a bottle but there [...]

Harvester Bar and Restaurant

Maui Disco Club

Above the Menfis club is this quiet club bar and when I say quiet I mean it. Ten per cent full on a Saturday night does not suggest incredible times at first and although tunes are playing the dj booth’s empty. The upside is that entry to menfis means entry here and the [...]

The Albion Pub and Dining

The Albion replaces an O’Neills which used to reside in its place some time ago. The Albion tries to be a gastro commercial affair but it does come across as nice pub, quiet and laid back. With features such as pillars, carpets, a small wooden staircase and well equipped with middle aged and old [...]
