Our Take

The Stack — Houghton

The Stack is the Houghton rooftop atop a converted Edwardian mansion — wraparound deck, leafy garden views, one of Johannesburg's most charming sunset spots.

The cocktail programme leans toward South African spirits and seasonal local botanicals — gin-and-buchu, rooibos negroni, a serious aged-rum back-bar. Kitchen runs Mediterranean small plates. Live jazz Friday from 8pm.

Reserve via Dineplan. Patio seating fills 90 minutes before sunset.

What to Order

Rooibos Negroni

Gin, Campari, rooibos-infused vermouth. The Stack's South African signature.

Wraparound Deck

Leafy garden views, sunset over the suburb. The reason to come.

Live Jazz Friday

From 8pm. Trio format, conversation volume.

Mediterranean Plates

Charcuterie, mezze, focaccia. Kitchen highlights.
