Considered the first find dining experience cocktail experience. You have to make a booking to get in to this 24 seater cocktail bar. No branded bottles adorn this bar. Spirits are made in-house, and the kind of alcohol used in each drink is omitted from the menu. The idea is to choose a drink based on flavours you enjoy, not a preconceived idea of what gin or whisky taste like. The menu is studded with local ingredients giving them unique South African flavours – not a universal palette of cocktails that could be replicated in London or Barcelona. My favourite is the Icy Hot.

Totally up its own arse but fun for a once-off Occasion night of expensive cocktails created with a fair amount of pomp and spectacle. Treat it as if you're going for dessert and have the apple and miso cocktail. Yummy! Booking ESSENTIAL.
