Bar-Stop

The imaginative minds at Imaginings (owners of KPO, Wala Wala and Balaclava) are good at creating bars with personality – and they haven’t disappointed fans with Bar-Stop, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, three-in-one restaurant, bar and live jazz venue tucked away on Devonshire Road. This deceptively spacious two-storey spot is home to an outdoor restaurant and indoor bar, as well as an upstairs lounge filled with funky furniture. For those looking to dine, the quiet garden-like seating outside should be your choice for the night. Those with an eye for a well-stocked bar and an ear for live jazz can sit up close to the stage and take in all the (very loud) action. The polished cement floor, exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and exceptional service make this space one of the coolest spots in town. It is indeed a bar to stop at.

Drinks price range from $6 to $17.
