The Red Devil cocktails draw in office workers who are keen to cut loose after 5pm. Drinkers can party downstairs or just lounge around upstairs.
May the lights of Aurora Bar guide you to this spot located in the heart of the CBD. Sprawled over two floors, Aurora is filled with mod furniture, contemporary artworks and radiant light features. Grab a table outside and have lunch or find a private nook in the lounge upstairs and sip a few drinks.
During the day, Aurora serves on-the-go coffees and light snacks to the corportae suits. There's also a lunch and dinner menu with offerings such as traditional beef burgers and gourmet pizzas. The view from upstairs is particularly good as you can people-watch while you munch.
When the sun goes down, Aurora lives up to its name with a light display that bathes the bar in colour. You can feel the party vibe. The cocktail list is as colourful as the lights. Try a lychee caipiroska (vodka, muddled white lychees and a splash of lychee liqueur) or a Red Devil (vodka, watermelon liqueur and mint).
As you'd probably expect, the crowd at Aurora is mainly made up of nine-to-fivers grabbing after-work drinks. Fridays see the bar rock to funky house, pop and retro tunes.
