    Waiters are not hands on, they don’t come to check you’re ok or if you’d like another drink or dish… Great vibe though, they always have a great DJ playing and good food

    Overall: 7/10 Obscura is all about the experience. If you’re looking for something different, quirky, and conversation-starting, it’s definitely worth a visit. The concept is creative, the food is delicious, and the venue has plenty of personality. However, the cocktail experience didn’t quite do it for me, and the service was inconsistent. I’d happily return for the atmosphere and food, but next time I’d let the bartender guide me toward cocktails that better suit my palate, maybe…

    Hi Khorina, Thank you for your in depth review of Obscura. If you have any further feedback on the service or what you did not enjoy please email us on hello@obscurabar.co.za With the cocktails, as mentioned in your review, it’s better to always ask the team for something suited your palate and let them recommend from that point, we have an extensive cocktail program and some of the best bartenders in country working for us, not every drink is for every person, but there is always a drink for someone, one of our greatest strengths is to make sure we direct people to the correct drink for them. We hope to host you again soon.
