Review

Discreetly tucked away behind the restaurant on, as the name would suggest, the mezzanine floor of the Grand Hyatt, this is a remarkably flexible hotel bar.

Relax with your choice of cigar and one of their extensive selection of international newspapers in the glassed-off smoking room. Lounge on burgundy sofas and armchairs in the lamp-lit gentleman's club space adjoining that.

Or opt for cocktails at the long bar at the end, a space perhaps better appreciated in dim light than daylight.

Don't be put off by the list of 50 fruit martinis. Innovative flavours include rockmelon, dragon fruit, soursop and Choya plum, while Smoky and Icewine varieties are just a few more adult varieties.

Cocktails are well-balanced, the spirits list is solid, there's a good range of bar snacks and the staff are professional and friendly.
