Our Take
Africa's Most Focused Gin Program
The Gin Bar is hidden in a courtyard behind Honest Chocolate on Wale Street. Eighty-plus South African gins, perfect tonic pairings, botanical garnishes from the bar's own herb wall. The most focused gin program in Africa.
The bartenders interview you about your gin preferences and build a perfect G&T. The local gin scene is genuinely world-class - Inverroche, Hope, Wilderer, Cape Town Gin Co - and this is the best place to taste your way through it.
Closed Sunday. Pair with Orphanage for a complete Cape Town spirits evening.
What to Order
Inverroche Verdant + Cape Tonic
With rosemary garnish. The South African signature G&T.
Wilderer Fynbos Gin
Distilled with indigenous fynbos botanicals. With elderflower tonic.
Gin Flight
Three SA gins of your choice with paired tonics. The best way to taste.
Cheese Board
South African cheeses with biltong. Pair with a heavy gin.
