Located in Cape Town's City Centre, The House of Machines has been cited on the World's 50 Best bars list, but it's the rock-n-roll, grunge atmosphere (the bar hosts monthly meetups of motorcyclists) that has also spurred a loyal baseline of Cape Town regulars. In addition to classic cocktails and beer, the bar also proudly serves coffee and self-proclaimed “cheeky food offerings.” Open until 2am every night but Sunday.
