A classic cocktail lounge, restaurant and boutique bar.

It is located upstairs overlooking 61 Harrington Street. The open panoramic windows give one a real visual of the neighbourhood and provides the perfect perch on which to sit, relax and wallow with one of our tasty libations, craft cocktails or tantalising tapas.

Expect beautifully polished wooden accents, windows, velvet bottle service booths, dedicated smoking lounge and a boutique DJ booth geared up for late evening revelry. This is a cool environment with a distinct air of sophistication.

    We booked a table in July already when we were in the restaurant I followed up in August and they never took it down after I personally gave my details to them on there phone... I then said fine I would like to book again then and want the table far is the left corner at the back (the booth) as I knew we wouldn't all fit in normal seats... I was requested to pay a deposit which I did.. The night we arrived wich was Saturday August 23rd we were placed in a normal seating bay some of us had to stand... Where the one I originally requested had 4 people seated by it... I orders a cocktail the base was so heavy my cocktail jumped off the table and I was asked do I want another I said yes (with the thought of it would be just replaced) but ended up being charged this was for a bachelorette... A place we came and tried out in July already and I was happy then we constantly had a waiter check in on us... But Saturday we had someone coming to use like once or twice

    Absolutely amazing night. Every experience at Harringtons has always been great. Our waitron, Oliver, was great, literally the best service I've had all year. He made the evening so special. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for a special occasion or just for a chilled evening out.

    The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed the Wine & Dine Wednesday experience. Our waiter was attentive and on-point throughout the evening. All three courses were delicious and generously portioned - we left feeling comfortably full. The wine pairings were equally impressive, perfectly complementing each dish. A lovely evening all round, and we're looking forward to the next!!

    Absolutely loved the food and service! Every dish was full of flavor and prepared with care. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. This place has definitely earned a spot on our favorites list. it’s going to be our go-to kitchen whenever I don’t feel like cooking. Highly recommended!

    We did the whisky pairing special for R395 but we were at the the restaurant for 35 minutes before our sparkling water arrived. And then a further 15 minutes after we complained before we got our first whisky By then we had already received our starter but on its own without the whisky pairing. The starter was mainly just a piece of pastry. We complained to the manager but the excuses were that the bar was busy. The main course was nice. But again the drinks took to long. We wouldn’t do it again.
