An upscale waterside speakeasy, this warm, cozy hotel bar has long been a favorite among Cape Town's whiskey lovers and cocktail connoisseurs. There's an excellent drinks menu that includes interesting South African wines, but it's the spirits and mixed libations that steal the show, with more than 500 whiskeys on offer, cocktail hours, and occasional live jazz performances. A selection of comfort food and larger meals are available to see you through the night.
This spot near the outskirts of the V&A Waterfront has a near-religious attitude towards mixology. Cocktails are invented and perfected here and the bartenders are also specialists when it comes to Cape brandy, a noteworthy category of spirits made in much the same manner as cognac. You can taste these various libations and also tuck into food from a generous menu.
