Number 8 - Wanaka

This place is an awesome hangout. Perfect for a sunny day. Funcky outdoor setting, kinda garden bar feel, probably the best views in town, its got 270° views of the lake, mountains, hills and the park. From up here you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of busy Wanaka. Inside is cool also, they have rounded booths (my favourite pool tables, loads of space. They play funky chilled music and have live music. Awesome cocktails and great range of craft beers with real friendly staff. Oh and they do food. :

The place has the greatest views on Wanakas main street. It is an absolutely great place to go for a night out with friends. Its location is perfect, within a 30 second walk of the lake front. They have a very large selection of drinks to pick from. Staff are very friendly and always provided great service with a smile. The band that was playing the night we were there were absolutely amazing. The outdoor area provides a nice area to grab some fresh air if you want a break from the dance floor. I have only visited this place a couple of times but i can always count on it to have a good time.

We sat on the deck for the best views of the lake on a gorgeous day- the views are stunning. We enjoyed wine and beer- which were very good! Nice and relaxing on the deck. Music was a bit loud for conversation inside. Still good views though.

A great cocktail bar overlooking the lake. If you're a fan of gin cocktails, this place cannot be missed. The gin and raspberry is an excellent drink choice if you're unsure of what to get (they'll also tell you this, as it's their most popular drink).

Decadently decorated bar in the heart of Wanaka, with views across the lakefront. The bar staff are super friendly and their cocktail list endless. As a Gin enthusiast I approve. We visited on Salsa night, which is such a stark contrast to what the other bars were serving up that night, highly entertaining to watch!
