More and more of these are popping up across the capital, much to our delight. Perched high above the city, by the water’s edge, nestled within lush greenery, gourmet spots or even festive venues with music... Throughout spring and summer, terraces are increasingly sought after.
Sometimes you have to push your way through to get a spot, but once you're comfortably settled, all that's left is to enjoy the moment. While these trendy terraces are often crowded with eager patrons, they’re definitely worth a visit for the unique atmosphere they offer. It's also a great chance to explore a hotspot before everyone else, and have the stories to share about it!

For your nights out: a classic pub, a lively nightclub, and even a hidden speakeasy-bar tucked away inside an underground chapel.
Sponsored - Go to the Hide: it's a huge pub, a discotheque under the vaults and even a spekeasy bar (a hidden bar at the 500 shooters). Reserve your evenings - you'll love the festive atmosphere! [Read more]
