Tucked away in the 'Honest Chocolate' courtyard is The Secret Gin Bar. You might enjoy the wonderful artisanal chocolates from Honest by day but if you walk through the shop you'll find the quirky Gin Bar and their beautiful cocktails by night.

A small inconspicuous alleyway next to the Royale Burger joint on Long St leads you up a long flight of stairs to one of Cape Town's most down to earth and eclectic clubs. The setting resembles something more of a 70s lounge and their varied music nights emulate a house party kind of vibe. They have a reasonable priced entrance fee and drinks, expect the weekend parties to be really full and busy.
