FEEL ALIVE FOR FIVE

Lo-fi dive bar The Hideaway is throwing out a bunch of drink specials for $5 to celebrate that it’s Friday – from spiced rum to schooners -  the best thing about this happy hour is that it goes for three hours.

HULA BIKES

 Spadille Café and Garage is a new communal shed that’s opened up recently, where you can head for a bit of space to work on your motorbike, and hangout and swap advice with other DIY mechanics. It’s also a café, with a chill breakfast menu including some seriously great toasties and Toby’s Estate coffee. This weekend, Spadille have tropical fever and are chucking a summer luau – head down and for a minimal door fee throw back some spiced rum, piña coladas, and tuck into some coconut pie and wood fired Hawaiian pizza, while ukulele pro Matteo Wahikewoku strums away. - Dani
