Section 8

No actual building to serve drinks from? No problem. Grab yourself a shipping container, slap it down in the car park and convert it into a bar. Insert some artfully arranged packing crates (some with comfy cushions) and you've got seating for the punters. Add a roof and some outdoor heaters, and you've got one of the city's most inventive outdoor drinking spots, which has the cool kids sidling in for drinks throughout both winter and summer. Small trees branch from behind some of the seating crates, providing greenery and a place to hang Chinese lanterns.

Very popular with the funky inner city set, Section 8 has a crowd most of the day. Some folks kick back with a pint-sized Little Creatures and listen to their own tunes, while others might gather around a jigsaw puzzle they've brought down to entertain themselves.

DJs spin their wheels here Thursday to Sunday and Section 8 is the sort of place where impromptu performances can spring up at any time.
