Bat & Bee

Robertson Street's got a fair few spots these days, but Bat & Bee stands out because it actually feels like a proper local watering hole rather than somewhere trying too hard. You'll find yourself among people who know what they're ordering, whether that's a carefully made cocktail or just a solid pint, and the sort of crowd that makes a place tick—regulars mixing with newcomers without anyone being weird about it. The name alone tells you the owners have got personality, and that carries through everything they do.
