The East City is in the process of a rebirth. And at the centre of it is Harringtons. There's a Gatsby-esque lounge with whiskey dinners and dazzling disco parties; a live music venue with rock ‘n roll; rum cocktails at a Hemingway-inspired bar; and a dive bar with bunny chows. You can even book these venues for corporate and private events, just fill in their enquiry form.
