Overlooking a lily pond and the distant mountains, The Classic is a great little bar serving up purple rice beer, passion-fruit mojitos, exotic snacks and good tunes. By night its low-rise wooden tables glow under the amber lights. Run by the friendly owner of The Hiker, it's a good spot to interact with locals.
