A vibrant rooftop restaurant and music venue on 7th Street that blends pan-African food with live music and a festive atmosphere. The grilled meats, chakalaka, and pap are honest and flavourful, and the sundowner drinks on the rooftop terrace are a Joburg highlight. It can get very crowded on live music nights, which is both the appeal and the caveat.
