Trippy dippy fun

Tipple of choice: The beer is cheap, but cocktails are more fun - pass on the super-sweet 'Americorn' in favor of a 'hellicorn' with fireball whiskey, ginger ale, muddled limes and Angostura bitters.

Adorned with taxidermied animal heads, quirky vintage lighting, salvaged church furniture and carnivalesque motifs, Unicorn is like an acid trip in situ. From the fancy carousel mirrors to the cheeky cocktail list, this Pike/Pine Corridor drinkery screams good fun.

In the summer of 2012, Unicorn opened its suitably mythical 'narwhal room', decked out with pinball machines and stand-up video games. The festival-style food menu (hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and some interesting house creations) is served until 1am, while a tasty, more international brunch menu is served at weekends.
