You know the vibe – you’re not STARVING but you’re kind of in the mood for a little something. When you’re sharing a bottle of wine with your pal in a bar, you always want the option to order a small plate or two if you get peckish.

Nothing fancy, just something delish to pick at while you enjoy a few drinks. So here are eight deadly spots around the city where you can find some extremely tasty bar bites…

1. Bow Lane

Part bar, part restaurant – Bow Lane has all you could ever want in terms of little bits to pick at. Order the potato skins with sticky barbecue duck, melted coolea cheese & scallion mayo. They’re beyond amazing!

2. Pygmalion

The kinda place where you pop along for one around 1pm on a Saturday, and realise you’re still there at 2am bopping away on the dancefloor.

They’ve got a deadly menu of bits and bobs, to give you plenty of energy for the sesh. Their Cayenne spiced chicken wings are just bloody brilliant.
