Still wearing your sightseeing grubbies and don't feel up to the glam nightspots of Central? Head to this ultralocal open-air beer kiosk at the ferry pier, a favourite of outer-island dwellers looking for a quick tipple before heading home. Grab a pint of local Gweilo craft beer and sit on the concrete steps watching the water; bring your own snacks.
