BEST SMOKER-FRIENDLY BEER GARDEN: Golden Sheaf

A tranquil venue with a sun-drenched feel to it, Golden Sheaf’s sophisticated balcony spills out over the beer garden, offering large daybeds for cosy evening chats and a cocktail or three under the stars. The interior and exterior of the Golden Sheaf blend seamlessly, and the cruisy tunes and live entertainment can be enjoyed from any corner. (Monique Moussa)
