Where to find the best cocktail bars in SA
Angostura has unveiled its list of the best cocktail bars around South Africa.
These are Angostura’s top pick cocktail bars around the country:
Johannesburg
Sin + Tax in Rosebank is one of the most popular 'secret' hangouts in the city. Co-owned by multi-award-winning mixologist Julian Short, Sin + Tax showcases uniquely South African flavours on their ever-changing seasonal menu. It was also recently announced as one of the Top 100 Bars in the world, and the only African bar to get a nod at the 2019 World's 50 Best Bar Awards.
Little Fox is situated in Johannesburg’s Fox Precinct. It’s the first-ever dedicated distillery bar and the new home of Ginologist Gin. Its extensive gin collection boasts over 100 gins from across South Africa and the world, and although it seems that gin is its speciality, Little Fox also offers an extensive cocktail menu using a variety of spirits and fresh ingredients.
Cape Town
Orphanage Cocktail Emporium is a mainstay of Cape Town cocktail culture. It was one of the first hangouts in the city to celebrate the talents of mixology and the creation of artisanal drinks. All these years later, this philosophy hasn't changed. The unique and delicious cocktails at Orphanage Cocktail Emporium are widely accepted as some of the best in town.
Situated in the V&A Waterfront, Cause Effect Cocktail Kitchen & Cape Brandy Bar is a specialist drinks bar serving locally inspired experiential cocktails with the Mother City’s fynbos, oceans, vineyards and mountain as its muse. It also offers the largest collection of award-winning Cape pot still brandies in the city and is championing sustainability by re-using and recycling.
Durban
The Charlatan Neighbourhood Cocktail Bar in Berea is a dedicated cocktail venue where everything is made from fresh ingredients, in-house, daily; from pressed juices to infused cocktail syrups. The bar is completely geared toward the diverse community it serves, so think local. With its curated drinks menu, setting and the chilled vibe you won’t find anything else like it in the hood.
The Lighthouse Bar at The Oyster Box is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean and the iconic red and white lighthouse. Its cocktail menu offers the classics, but also exotic signature cocktails that use Durban-specific ingredients like cane sugar and cane spirit. It is an icon of Umhlanga living. Go for the views, stay for the cocktails.
