I decided to try it out on my way from work. I liked the waiting staff, you could tell that they are really trying to show perfection. Weirdly the place only sells cheap whiskey by the glas (Jameson) if you want any of the Glens or decent Whiskey, then you have to buy a whole bottle. I also didn’t like the fact that they don’t have a bar area where you can actually sit and have a drink by the bar (like in the movies). Maybe because it really is a tiny place. The crowd is mostly young, no diversity. So if you are looking for a mature crowd, multi cultural etc, this is not it. In a nutshell, it was not my vibe, but perhaps it could be yours.

Great place with a great vibe. Went for Tuesdays game night, was loads of fun. Food is really tasty. Drinks are reasonably priced. Hubbly / Shisha / Hookah is also available at a reasonable price.

I dont know about the night life of the Bar, but I love me some fresh coffee in the morning at a place that feels cosy. And The Bar has that exact setting. Not to mention the coffee is definitely tops. Sometimes a venue has two faces, and I'm finding the coffee shop Vibes fabulous.

  • Fidget “Fidget” Spinner

Walked in, sat down, ordered drinks only to then be told that the chef is not there so they’re not serving food. It’s also hot as hell, fans off, windows closed. Wish there was zero star.

Appeared here for our first performance as a music couple and duo. Very welcoming, cozy and such a vibe! They hosted us well! Gotta get in the crowd if you want to chill here! Hit us up! Your favourite music couple, A-iesha x Remy Reece

  • Kennedy Falithenjwa S.

The place is small so it gets crowded very quick, the service is good though and the food. The music needs work they need to get better djs who are more in tune with the SA music climate but it's definitely not a bad place.

  • Wendy Antonique

I love that the bar does not have a capacity for a large crowd...Which is good for people who hate too many people. The waitresses/waiters are friendly and efficient. The music is really great as well.

  • Nomahlubi Radebe

The space is too little that people can't really dance, you'd have to always pat people to ask them to make way for you. They should just accommodate about 20 people because that place is really small

  • Sibonisiwe Ndlovu

Our waiter wasn’t available she only came 3 hours after we ordered drinks It wasn’t busy, but no service

  • Nolubabalo Myoli

The place is beautiful however it is relatively small so you can't have a proper conversation over the loud music. The drinks are inexpensive and the wait staff is efficient.

  • Angy Batt

Music way too loud, don't go there sober... the door person/manager was really sweet though and tried to get us to stay but wasn't feeling it... maybe next time bruh

  • Nsika Gumede

The drafts are not even drafts but normal beer poured into a 300ml draft glass The space is tiny and wouldn’t recommend this as a place to chill at

  • Tino Muponde

Great music, really a nice vibe They are really slow on the weekend because of the large number of people coming but they have the best drinks.

  • Illana's Station
