It’s a nice view and a decent place to hang out. The food was reasonable but the service a bit confused.

One of my favourite spots for a meet-cute or hangout. The drinks are great, the bartenders know what they're doing and the vibe is always immaculate. You could grab one of the headline drinks but mixing and matching is fun too.

Really cool spot for lunch on a Saturday. It was quiet and service was excellent without being over attentive which is greatly valued.

I came here for drinks for the first time. The atmosphere was amazing. The bartenders were passionate and creating art with their cocktails - it was amazing. The cocktails were great and the service was impeccable. This is definitely a great place. I will be back!

This place is probably the coolest bar in Cape Town. Honestly, you could be in a western movie, put on your hat - and have a great time.
