    I am a vegetarian but enjoy alcohol. This is the first bar I've been to with amazing vegetarian options. That will definitely have me back there. Cocktails were a little on the expensive side compared to places in Sandton especially since the cocktail recipes need some improvement. Staff were extremely friendly but the place was rather quiet even though we were looking for Sunday afternoon chilled vibes.

    Hi Shivani, Thank you so much for the detailed feedback — we’re thrilled to hear our vegetarian options hit the spot and that our team made you feel welcome! We really appreciate the honest notes on the cocktails and overall vibe — we’re actively refining our drinks menu and you’ll be glad to know we’re also working on new ways to bring in a stronger Sunday crowd without losing that chilled afternoon energy. Hope to welcome you back soon — and we’d love for you to try our updated cocktails when you do! Warmly, The Democracy Bar Team
