So, Glam has taken the time to compile our Top 5 destinations, looking at drinkeries who not only have a great list behind the bar, but you’ll want to spend a lazy few hours with friends in.

The inviting white wash exterior and beautiful open feel to the Grace is a social lubricant unto itself. Spend an afternoon bathing in the natural light of their courtyard style setting, or grab a more intimate table with friends towards the front of the venue. Weekend sessions always feature DJs and sangria, but it is the staff that really make this venue a destination. Their service is second to none and their food isn’t too shabby either, which is why they sit atop our list of Parade destinations.
The Colonist, 44 The Parade
Their new gastro-pub restaurant menu required it’s own article a few weeks ago, but for now we’re focusing upon how great this classic pub is for a tipple. The old world charm of the exterior is immediately accentuated by the eye-catching frozen chandelier in the front bar (an endless topic of conversation) and eclectic old world decor.

The open air feel at The Bath Hotel lends itself to a fantastic summer setting, but it’s often overlooked in the winter. Any hotel with so many points of service gets a massive tick in our book; you will never be left waiting long for a beer or wine. It’s a location where you can soak up a diverse atmosphere of the gentle hum of their dining room, more jovial groups their front bar or sports fanatics in the garden keeping an eye on the big screen.
