You survived the inbox, the meetings that should've been emails, and someone saying "quick question" at 4:58pm. Congratulations. I think you've earned an escape.
Grab a mate, bring your date, or honestly just take yourself out — I don't judge. Start at Untied Barangaroo for happy hour wines with a view, because staring at another screen after work feels like a punishment.
Then wander down to Muum Maam for Thai by the water. Order the crispy pork belly, roti with peanut sauce, pad thai and a few share plates — because ordering one sad dish and refusing to share is simply bad behaviour.
Finish at Smoke Rooftop for cocktails and city views. A little reminder that your job is not your whole personality (even if your inbox is doing its best to convince you otherwise).
Wine, Thai, rooftop. Three stops. Zero planning. Much better than going home and eating cereal for dinner.
Happy hour → dinner on the water → rooftop nightcap
