A neighbourhood bar in the bohemian suburb of Melville that draws a loyal, eclectic crowd of artists, academics, and long-time locals. The cocktail list is creative without being pretentious, and the outdoor courtyard is one of the nicest spots in Joburg for a relaxed evening drink. Parking on 7th Street can be tricky on weekends, so consider an Uber.
