Nestled in California Lane, this tiny tavern packs a punch bigger than Harley’s infamous mallet. By day, it’s a cosy cafe where you can fuel up with barista-made brews from Almanac Coffee, sink your teeth into toasties, pies, and muffins.
As the sun sets, Harley Quinn Bar transforms faster than Bruce Wayne in a phone booth, becoming a vibrant nocturnal playground for comic enthusiasts and cocktail connoisseurs alike.
The star attractions? Two Harley Quinn-inspired libations that would make even the Clown Princess of Crime grin from ear to ear. First up, a fizzy, fun concoction blending Sunset Gin, rose prosecco, and lemon fairyfloss—a drink as effervescent as Harley herself. For those who prefer their cocktails with a side of mischief, the Puddin Spritz awaits, featuring a zesty mix of grapefruit, vodka, soda, prosecco, and a sprig of rosemary.
But fear not, caped crusaders and web-slingers—your favourite heroes haven’t been forgotten. Sip on Batman’s Espresso for a brooding caffeine kick, or lighten the mood with a Steve Rogers Sour. For the true believers, Spidey’s Margarita comes complete with an edible glucose web that’s sure to ensnare your taste buds.
