| Swathed in plush crimson velvet, Polly Bar has a strong Moulin Rouge feel and plenty of sex appeal. Slink your way over to the Baroque lounges, admire the chandeliers, and order a naughty little cocktail such as the French Harlot - a blend of Mandarin Napoleon, Drambuie, Kahlua and orange. Or perhaps the Dominatrix - made with Havana Adjo, Kahlua, creme de cacao, fresh chocolate and milk. According to the menu, this particular drink tastes just like 'sex in a glass'. Hmmm!
With a low conversational hum and dim lighting, Polly Bar is a tempting spot to get cosy with a friend and order up some fresh Tasmanian oysters or perhaps some crisp salt and pepper squid. There's also a lengthy cigar list to peruse, with smoky offerings from Cuba, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. On weekends, Polly Bar attracts bubbly 20-somethings and a solid stand-up drinking crowd. On weeknights the polished locals reclaim a softer approach, sinking into deep couches, chatting, and clinking their chocolate martinis.
