Harry's Bar

Fodor's Review:

This intimate bar and café is a bit hidden down at the river end of Hardy Street, but once inside you'll find that the atmosphere is very upbeat. Asian cuisine is the focus here, but the menu also includes Indian dal and chapatis, as well as pad thai and green papaya salad (and a not-to-be-missed Kaffir lime tart for dessert). There's a hot selection of cocktails, and on Friday night the bar fills with locals who come to celebrate the end of the work week. Reservations essential in summer.
