Cape Town
Tucked away in the courtyard of what used to be a mortuary (but set to move to the same building's upper floor), this secret little bar is the perfect place to get a taste for Cape Town's burgeoning craft gin scene. Grab one of the four expertly made house cocktails to sip on the interior patio.
Find the bar by heading through Honest Chocolate Cafe.
