Barnaby's Lounge

Head down Robertson Street towards the seafront and you'll find yourself in Barnaby's—the kind of place where bartenders actually care about what goes in your glass. This is cocktail territory done right, no shortcuts, no Instagram-baiting nonsense. You're getting proper spirit work, quality ingredients, and the sort of attention to detail that makes regulars come back week after week. It's the sort of bar that's become essential to Hastings' drinking scene without needing to shout about it.
