399 describes itself as an urban oasis and we couldn't agree more, it is that perfect little watering hole where you can sit back away from the stresses of life and enjoy an ice cold beer or well made cocktail. A pitstop on your walk into or out of the city is very likely to become a final destination.
The beer list is excellent and on par with the best around, they have an exceptional selection of craft and boutique beers that are complimented by a range of ciders and a good wine cellar. The cocktails on offer are well made, watching the staff at work you can see the time and effort that goes into preparing each and every one.
Food is expertly served up from a number of different kitchens as Pizza, Asian and Indian are all on the menu from surrounding restaurants, order at the bar and in a flash, your food as arrived from local eateries. We think this is such a good idea, increasing the choice available to customers while providing something that little bit different. In addition to the varied order-in menu 399 also has a simple tapas menu that can soak up some of the booze.
We tried a selection of beers including Mountain Goat Pale Ale, Colonial Kolsch, Temple IPA and Kooinda Porter but a special mention must go to the Colonial Small Ale, an excellent mid strength that has a nice citrus hint and a refreshing bitterness. It is a great beer that won't leave you disappointed and is perfect for afterwork drinks when a hangover the next day just isn't an option.
The ambience was relaxed and fun with nice background music. The staff were attentive and eager to please, they are really engaging and all take the time to interact with the patrons beyond just your standard service. On a final note it has to be said that this is a well designed bar, time and effort has gone into making this a place to relax and hang out with your friends. Our suggestion is round up a group of friends, take the short walk from the city and turn 399 Bar into the place to be for the whole night.
