Drinks in Town? Been there done that. Now it’s time for a little bit of sophistication. A little bit of glamour. A little bit of luxury without the price tag.
Let’s be honest here, OK? Most of us start deciding where we’re going to at the weekend at the start of the week, right? Well, to be fair, nothing helps getting over the Monday Blue’s than knowing there’s a night out at the end of it all.
But while we all have good intentions about where to go - starting off the Whatsapp group with a “we’re definitely going to a NEW place this Saturday” - by Friday you’ll be drained and will definitely end up in the same local.
But not when there are cocktails the size of your face on offer. Yes, the size of your ACTUAL face!
The Crystal Bar in the Beacon Hotel has the tastiest, biggest cocktails we have ever had the pleasure of sampling.
Whether you're more of a Whiskey Sour gal, a bit of a Troublemaker or like your bubbles with a dash of mango (yes, we tried them all) you can have yourself a very good night giving them a go.
And even if you're a little lost looking at the menu the staff will give you a hand no problem.
The bar is mellow and relaxed, and boasts some fancy schmany white chairs. The candlelight adds a romantic flair while the glamorous setting makes it the ideal place to start your festive shenanigans.
A silver pool table (excuse you) and a random bed sits in the middle of the room... There are even plants on the table.
The outdoor courtyard is also a pretty slick place to wind down after a hectic week and it’s adequately heated which is definitely a plus.
Oh, and even if you're not a fan of the aul cocktail and are more a beer connoisseur, they sell that too.
And the best thing? You can save yourself a fortune on entry fees because it’s free in!
