Aqua

A gorgeous alternative to a beach in our landlocked city, Aqua's romantic alfresco setting provides an escape from the concrete jungle. The giant disco ball in the pool is a clear highlight with a view best experienced from one of the secluded rattan love beds or the more buzzing deck chairs. The white décor mixed with earthy wooden browns offset the blue of the pool and urge you to order another pitcher of Sangria. It's as dreamy in the day as it is in the night, which is why the weekend sundowner pool parties are a big hit. At night, the vibe changes with more energetic house music. A huge wine list as well as wonderfully mixed classics like Daiquiri, Martini, Margarita and wine cocktails make it a must go-to spot. The Mediterranean and BBQ Grills serve some delicious food as well including Chicken Liver Pate, Chicken Souvlaki and Grilled Mushrooms in white wine along with thin crust pizzas a la Mist next door. Word of warning: don't wear high heels here unless you fancy walking like a chicken.
