Hidden between the 4th and 5th floors of The Hyde Hotel above Proud Mary, this secret space blends international speakeasy culture with modern craft mixology and a daring, after-dark energy.

Here, fine-dining discipline meets playful rebellion, every dish tells a story.

Here, spirits are curated with precision, and flavours flirt with the unexpected.

From rare whiskies and crafted cocktails to comfort food with an elevated twist, Nine Lives is an experience defined by indulgence — a place made for those who move differently, think boldly, and taste deeply.

Specials

Live Jazz At Nine

Join us for an intimate, jazz-soaked evening that blends smooth rhythms with a touch of indulgence. From 19:00, let the mood take over as velvet saxophone melodies and slow-burning grooves set the tone for a night of effortless elegance. Your R200 per person ticket unlocks the experience — including a welcome cocktail to ease you into the evening. Settle in wherever the vibe calls you — whether its the energy of the bar, the comfort of the lounge, or the charm of the dining area. Seating is first come, first served, because some nights arent meant to be structured… theyre meant to be felt. Come for the music. Stay for the atmosphere. Lose yourself in the rhythm.

    The food and cocktails were nice. Our overall experience was good. Service was a bit disappointing towards the end of the evening. We ordered a cocktail and the waiter didn’t bring it, after saying he had placed the order twice already.
