No hipster hang out article will be complete without at least one grand coffee shop. Meet Aroma Gourmet Coffee Roastery in Brooklyn – our favourite place to crunch out some work with a good, strong cuppa. Also, their dark hot chocolate is to die for.

Lucky Rodrigo
c/o The Hillside Street and Alpine Way, Pretoria
Live music, burgers and seafood – that’s what Lucky Rodrigo is all about. This Williamsburg-style (think Peaky Blinders mixed with a couple of shots of tequila) restaurant, bar and live music venue is the best place to check out that band no one has ever heard of before. The food’s good, the beer cold and the music loud.
