It's also a brilliant cocktail bar in general.

It was the only bar in the whole continent to be featured in the top 100 bars in the world in 2019

There’s a nightclub called 8 that’s got a speakeasy-style entrance in the back of another bar

There's one upstairs at Proud Mary, and one above Pink Mamas too

How's the nightlife in Johannesburg, any clubs or techno events happening?
