What to expect: Barely a year old, this wine speciality chain already has 14 outlets, with one more to come later this month. Its latest outlet offers sit-in consumption whereas some others are purely retail centres. You can buy some hard-to-find wines for $20 to $6,000 a bottle.

Opening hours: 5pm to 1am (Mon to Thu),
till 2am (Fri), 11am to 2am (Sat), 11am to 1am (Sun)
What to expect: More of the typical Harry's touch, but this time in a cosy, rustic setting. Don't expect to find expats or businessmen in shirt and tie, like in the other Harry's joints, here. Local band Waddaphunk play R&B and
pop hits.
