Nice cheap drinks alternative. A great crowd. Dancefloor is spacious but it was full that night i was here. Did not bother to dance just enjoyed a nice glass of gin with my partner and chatting!

Arrived at 11am. The bouncer took our temperature, sanitized our hands and then we had to seat ourselves. After 15 minutes of sitting there, we werent served yet so we ordered our drinks straight from the bar. The person we suspected to be the waiter was uninterested in serving us. There was also no toilet paper in any of the bathrooms. When I asked for some, I was handed serviettes.On the upscale the miss my flight shooter is potent. I missed my breath from it and the lady behind behind the bar was friendly.

Great place to go to when you want to let loose and just forget about the reality of life after a long week, would be better if there was a Dj

This bar has a very chilled ambience to it. I definitely recommend it for drinks during the day as it has a chilled vibe and a great view. Can get really full during the night though so there is limited space. The toilet facilities are very small. The bar men are very funny and friendly, they serve a variety of shots and drinks. The bouncers are very observant. Great place for chills with friends

One advice: order the shots starting from R11 upwards. Everything below has names that have nice rings to them but they wont do much if youre somwhat resistant to alcohol.

So much fun, the service is great and the music even better.

Review №28

This place is fine for students. Shots are dirt cheap- start at R5. Naturally, this means they are made with cheap alcohol and will mess you up real quick.

You can choose your own song for R5 from the beat box

The home of shooters! Best shooter variety in Cape Town if not the world!

Review №33

Shots are nice and cheap on the first floor and a great place to warm up for other places in Long Street. Upstairs can either make or break your day with regards to the music but other than that its more chilled than most of the clubs.

A total dive, but a great place for cheap but surprisingly delicious shots and a must for any night out bar-hopping on Long Street. Order the powerhouse Missed My Flight for an instant jolt.
