Pause Bar is a little Carlisle St oasis in the Balaclava desert. Self-described as 'cavernous', it offers a space that is ripe for a party that booms. Everything about this venue shouts 'good time'. Its walls are painted teal and khaki stripes. It features 'banoffi pie' on its bar menu. It's Moroccan inspired. Fun. Funky.The beer and wine list is  rotating and features a range of local boutique brands, as well as all the favourites. It's very much a classic affair with the cocktails as well – the Wrong Island Ice Tea is the bar's pride and glory. As mentioned, the bar menu is particularly outstanding. If you need something to line your stomach after that accidental third martini, how does marinated feta sound? Haloumi pockets anyone? A lamb and fig curry should do the trick, right?The interiors are novel - a wonderful mix of textures and colours that will have you humming 'Arabian Nights' under your breath. The venue can comfortably accommodate parties of up to 100.Nestled underneath Balaclava train station, Pause Bar is as accessible as it is exciting (and delicious).
