Cocktail Catchups
OK, so we've all heard of 'lounge bars', but what about bars that actually feel like somone's lounge room? We've put together a bunch of bars where the couch reigns supreme and you'd best leave your snob hat at the door.
A twist on the mere cafe, they're perfect for a couple of drinks in the afternoon and great for catching up with mates when you want to have a conversation without screaming across the room over the DJ.

Cafe Lounge
Darlinghurst
|
This place is a haven for all those trendy Surry kids who want to relax and take time off from being cool. Kitted out like your best mate's flat, the pace here is slow and perfect for afternoon catchup sessions.

Boho Bar & Lounge
Unley
|
So this place is like visiting your aunt's house - if your aunt was a burlesque dancer. It might seem like the debauchery metre is off the scale, but they serve high tea, so how risque can it get?

|
A contradiction in a converted stable house, this place combines share-house charm with a menu of tempting cocktails.

Hidden upstairs, away from the rabble of Newtown's King Street, Madam Fling Flong evokes Parisian glamour, sans pretension.

A favourite among uni kids who like their cheap jugs, the Comfortable Chair lives up to its name and feels like a house party.

Antique Bar

Set in an old antique shop, this place definitely has the boho vibe down. Whether it's coffees or cocktails, settle in for a lazy afternoon.
