Whimsical, even irreverent can best describe this funky, smoky and lavender-filled duplex restaurant-cum-nightclub with open-air rooftop terrace. Offering a playlist that runs the gamut "from Abba to Zappa," Besinci Kat (which literally means "Fifth Floor"), bills itself as place for "anyone who's got style, taste and a free mind." Open daily 10am to 2am.
