| Alluva is a day cafe and night bar tucked below a sky-scraping corporate tower, so it is consistently packed with city workers letting loose as the week draws to a close. Fortunately, with three linked bar and lounge areas, a VIP room and a fully licensed outdoor terrace on Bourke Street, this place can accommodate up to 1000 merrymakers at any time. The chilled out bar turns to nightclub in the later hours of Friday with a state-of-the-art sound system, DJs, VJs and catwalk parades, while Cosmopolitan Saturdays sees a blend of electro and house music entertain a festive European crowd. Bar snacks and light meals are served at softly-lit chill-out lounges well into the evening in the back room's warm maroon and fuchsia decor.
It's no surprise that Alluva hosts one of the city's busiest happy hours, with an extensive drinks menu ranging from house wines and beers to exotic cocktails for the ladies such as limoncello margaritas, frozen cosmopolitans and their signature Perfect Man, a chilled blend of Frangelico, strawberry liqueur, lime and Licor 47 Vanilla strained with apple juice.
