Popped down to Proof Wine Bar to celebrate the countdown to my birthday...we were a party of 5 and i must say, this was an awesome place with really unpretentious people. Dj was on point, bar ladies were welcoming and friendly and the vibe was infectious...Best place in Somerset for a drink and some great vibes

Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The venue is a little small. The music was pretty decent, some Queen and Cindy Lauper, if that's your thing. The drinks were good. I understand Gin is all the craze right now, but for someone who doesn't like Gin, I found the Cocktail options limiting.

3rd time visiting Proof Bar. Over this past weekend it was another memorable night to remember. Chilled vibe, friendly staff, great atmosphere and cool music. Take a few friends with for a truly memorable experience. Be sure to checkout their wine selection and great cocktails!

A hidden gem in Somerset West , it’s probably one of the coolest places in the town. It’s viby , cozy and absolutely perfect for after work drinks or just a catch up session with friends . They have a fantastic Wine selection, craft Gins and even craft Beers.

  • Gabi Teren

Probably the coolest place in Somerset West. Cozy, hipster, and buzzing. Great selection of wines which is always changing and everything by the glass. Happy hour two for one mon-thurs 4-6pm. Look out for weekly events such as masterclasses

  • Nkina Ramonyai

This is actually a wine bar with the most beautiful interior inside. Their menu consisted of mostly pizzas and they are very delicious. I had the meaty pizza with extra toppings of avocado and olive. Definitely mouth watering! If you are a

Please get someone else playing the music.! Justin is not only playing terrible music which is chasing customers away, he is also arrogant and rude! Numerous customers asked him last Saturday (after the rwc win) to play other music/songs.

First time visiting the bigger Proof since the year they opened. Did not indulge in cocktails or beers but stuck to my old favourite, wine. As of old, not a huge selection but, oh boy, what a selection! And if you have a question about a

  • Skyla Xoürel

This place has a upmarket metropolitan feel, with premium finishes. The bartenders are friendly; though my cocktails were not the best I've had, I do appreciate their effort and enthusiasm. The only downside is parking. There is limited

  • Marilyn Sass

The place is rather tucked away from the usual hustle and bustle, which doesn't make it any less interesting, but all the more desirable. The interior is both modern and stylish, yet cool and laid-back, and perfect for small groups and

A cosy and sophisticated wine focussed bar that has become a trendy favourite in the area. They serve a variety of local wines and make great gin based cocktails along with platters and the like. They have regular events such as wine

We finally have a classy and chic bar in Somerset West! Proof is a lovely spot, with an excellent selection of wines. The service is great and the atmosphere relaxed and trendy. I will be spending a lot of time here in future!

  • Conrad Meier

When the opened the wine list was filled with interesting and boutique style wines. Gone are those days - just a number of average wines are now stocked. Place was nice and busy, interesting decor. Pity about the wine list...

  • Riaan Boshoff

Great concept and one of my favourite places. Whether it is a midweek break or a good unwind on a Friday after a long week, you are always guaranteed a good time and good wine. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

  • Bradley Weibel

We had a farewell for a friend in here. They don't charge to hire out the venue for a function. Cozy vibe, limited selection of things to buy (no food), but it makes up for that in friendly service and character.

  • Gerhard Passage

Busy bees running around to serve all the clients at the tables, leaving the bar counter people waiting and waiting ... Eventually got served and relaxed at a table listening to nice lounge music. Nice... …

  • Christiaan van der Walt

An absolute gem. The coolest bartenders on the block. Furthermore, Proof Bar boasts a fantastic range of cocktails and drinks at very affordable prices compared to other premium cocktail bars in Cape Town. More

  • Adi Klier

It's called restaurant number 7, celebrated my 77st, impressed about the fish dish served. Started with 7 oysters, all around number 7. Visited a week later again with great satisfaction. Recommendable.

  • Warwick (The Saucy Mare)

A definite visit if you enjoy wine without having to travel far. Located in the heart of Somerset Winelands, you can enjoy a great selection of the local farms.

Fantastic spot. Upmarket and smart with an intimate setting. The barman was very helpful and suggestive with what to try on their menu. Will definitely be back.

Lovely cozy nook in the heart of Somerset west. Generally slightly older crowd because it is a little more expensive. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Extremely disappointing!! Went to Proof Bar a year ago, vibe was awesome coz the dj got the crowd amped. So no dj tonight! No vibe and obnoxious barmen!!!
