With old fashioned interiors and a killer lineup of live music, Lefty's Music Hall is perfect for something a little different on your next date night. Situated on Caxton Street, this honky-tonk style bar boasts a huge dancefloor and American-style eats such as chicken wings or burgers, paired with cocktails like their famous Whiskey Apples.

Want to take rooftop dining to the next level? Vertigo is the ideal date for adrenaline junkies, as you will be strapped in 17 metres above the ground as you enjoy a delicious, locally sourced two-course meal. This will be paired with a glass of wine chosen by expert sommeliers, alongside some of the best views in the city.
