HQ 5.8

The Parisian-inspired steakhouse come bar is situated conveniently in the midst of the urban sprawl, so you won’t need to go far to find a classy cocktail, craft beer or top local wine to help you ease into the weekend.

Housed in national monument Heritage Square, HQ is effortlessly sophisticated; from the main restaurant with its red leather seating, mirrored walls, and balloon lampshades casting a golden glow; to the moody bar and lounge area with contemporary furnishings and glamorous fittings.

Shake off office fatigue by starting off with a steak dinner: HQ offers a single, straightforward menu: salad, sirloin and chips; a breath of fresh air in a dining world populated by overextended menus. Then swap the boardroom for the bar, and be rewarded with the sounds of only the best musicians; expect live instrumentation, swing and house music to keep you dancing all night.
