Practical Tips Before You Go

2. Carry a government ID and be prepared for entry checks; policies vary by venue.
3. If you’re in a group, pre-book (Dineout/EazyDiner/Zomato pages show reservation options and occasional pre-book discounts).
4. Want craft beer or a particular cocktail? Ask staff about the “specials” or fresh batches on arrival — microbreweries rotate brews and rooftop bars refresh signature cocktails by season.
