This classy lounge-bar is in an up-and-coming part of Durban, but for now it's best to grab a cab to get here. This sprawling bar and lounge has a maximalist design with antiques, game trophies and strange paintings covering the walls. There are jazz performances, but it's well worth going just to taste one of the excellent cocktails.
