After a long day at the office, there couldn't be a better way to unwind then to venture out to one of Brisbane's hottest spots and grab a cheeky drink with the gals.


Positioned on Brisbane's iconic Eagle Street Pier, Sake is Australia's best contemporary Japanese restaurant that offers a wide and dynamic range of Japanese cuisine and divine cocktails.


It isn't always easy finding a concoction that will ignite and delight your tastebuds. Often the hunt means discovering what you aren't fond of before finding what you love.


But fear not, as here at Fashion Weekly we recently visited Sake Restaurant and tried a few game changers that will have you thirsting for more!
