Bar 48 is my little gem in Cape Town.. During the day, this cafe is a haven for those seeking respite from the bustling city. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely brunch or a midday coffee break. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff members who are always ready to assist and provide recommendations from their carefully curated menu. Speaking of the menu, it's a culinary delight that caters to various tastes and preferences. The star of the show, without a doubt, is their homemade veggie burger. Bursting with flavors, it showcases a perfectly grilled patty made from a medley of fresh vegetables, lentils, and aromatic spices. The bun is lightly toasted, adding a delightful crunch to every bite. Accompanied by a variety of condiments and a side of perfectly seasoned fries, this veggie burger is a standout item that will satisfy even the most discerning palate. As the sun sets and the evening unfolds, the cafe transforms into a lively bar, radiating an energetic and dynamic atmosphere. The ambiance becomes more vibrant, with live music performances and a well-stocked bar offering an impressive selection of wines, cocktails, and spirits. The skilled mixologists (aka owner and now a friend Jeancy) behind the counter craft unique and creative concoctions that are sure to please any cocktail enthusiast. This establishment prides itself on its commitment to quality and attention to detail. The food and drinks are consistently exceptional, and the presentation is impeccable. The service throughout the day and night is attentive, ensuring that each guest/patron feels valued and well taken care of. Thank you for creating such and amazing space with amazing music, food, coffee and juice for us to enjoy during the day! PA: abar 48 is right by green market square, tucked away in Hout Street!

Very Disappointed. I ordered their Salmon, cream cheese, capers and avo bagel sandwich. I substituted the bagel for sour dough bread and added scrambled eggs - Takeaway. I was robbed the sandwich was suppose to come with fries, i go no fries in my box. My sandwich also didnt have capers or avo. I was charged for all of those things. Very disappointed as the food took so long and was pricey for me to get only bread with eggs and salmon. I will never go back there again. Disappointing as my first experience was good.

We had such an amazing time with my friends at 48Cocktail-Bar, cocktails was great service was amazing, staff very friendly….don’t even mention about the food, " Burger " well it was the best Beef Burger ever had before….I’ll definitely recommend 48Cocktail-Bar in Cape Town City Centre

I have been here a few times at different times of day and hope to come back soon. The owner and staff are so genuine and friendly. The food is somehow both luxurious and comforting. I've had the burger twice and it's safe to say it's the best one I have had in CT. Music was also a vibe. In general a great place to go anytime of day.

Refreshing drinks at a reasonable price. Harmonious environment, it was clean and serene. Barman was attentative and friendly to all customers. I could do my work in peace, free of stress. Highly recommended. Especially for those with high pressure jobs and in need of a relaxing mental break from the everyday routine.

What a great bar! I accidentally came across this bar!! The tequila are the best! The bartender are so good. Jeancy .. and gave me some good tips!! I'm definitely coming back for salsa night!! A must pitstop !! Oh and they have great beers for all of my American beer lovers !! …

Had a very good time there. Great cocktails. Try the Bambu sour (image in the review) Jeancy the owner is really doing cocktails passionate and taking time for interesting conversations. Always would recommend Thanks Jeancy again for the great cocktails …

Found this jewel while replacing watch batteries at Southern Watch. What started with a Cappuccino followed by the best Bolognaise in Cape Town. Visiting all the way from West Coast, for sure see you soon!
