Weather aside, the summer break delivers the sort of indulgent, unscheduled freedom we all need. But now it’s back to the regularly scheduled program, and Bar Ziti is doing what it does best: by making the return to routine more pleasure, less penance. This is the place you regroup with your office family, swap holiday bravado for selective truth, and remember why a great city bar at the right hour is civilisation in liquid form.
The Golden Hour hits differently here: with Aperitivo Hour running Monday to Friday, 4–6 pm, it’s perfectly aligned with the after-work drift. Complimentary bites appear without fuss. Ice-cold beers behave. Cocktails take you back to the holidays past, and the wines are chosen with intent. The brief is simple: arrive for one, linger for two, leave feeling human again.
By day, Bar Ziti quietly wins the value argument. The $25 Members Lunch is the sort of offer that makes nearby offices stoically loyal. A Wagyu cheeseburger and fries, chicken cotoletta, Margherita pizza, and a proper chicken Caesar. On Fridays, steak frites steps in, and the week concedes defeat. Members pay $25. Everyone else pays more. Which is why becoming a member is an excellent idea.
Bar Ziti Club is refreshingly straightforward. It is free. It unlocks drink offers. It quietly racks up points you can redeem without needing a spreadsheet. Download the app, take the win.
Call it a reset. Call it a return. Call it a very good reason to be back at your desk, knowing there is somewhere worth walking to at five. Bar Ziti has the city covered.
