The Gin Bar

Many credit The (secret) Gin Bar with kicking off the craft gin revolution in Cape Town. Whether or not they were actually the first to produce various high-end gin cocktails is largely irrelevant, because they’re still one of the best. The now legendary speakeasy-style bar is hidden behind a chocolate shop, and the quiet inner-city courtyard is the perfect location in which to sample a wide range of the city’s best gins. If you’re unsure which to pick, the staff are always on hand to make recommendations or mix up one of the bar’s signature drinks.
