Just last weekend, we revisited an old friend of the site and had some fun with one of my favourites. But, today, I’m hoping to enjoy something new and special from another former feature.

Both of which promise to be rather fruity in most unorthodox ways.

So it would seem that these are some seriously well-liked bars. But is their popularity truly warranted?

Let’s find out!
