Lazy Bear

You'll find Lazy Bear tucked away on Neville Street, in that stretch where the city centre starts to feel a bit more real and less about the usual chain spots. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing — not trying too hard, just proper cocktails made with decent spirits and clear thinking. The vibe is relaxed but purposeful; you can roll in solo for a drink or bring mates and actually have a conversation without shouting. The crowd here skews towards people who care about what's in their glass, but it never feels pretentious about it.
