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.

    The staff are all soo helpful and bubbly. I enjoyed the piñata as well and there were no hidden fees when we went to pay (the R200 to book was actually removed from our tab). The DJs were also amazing. I will be back again.
