The House of Machines

Part workshop, part coffee spot, part cocktail bar, this is one of Cape Town’s more distinctive places to go out. The motorcycle influence gives it real character, but the room never feels like a theme bar. People come for well made drinks, good music, and a crowd that is stylish without trying too hard. It works equally well for an early evening stop or a longer night out. If you like bars with personality and a strong sense of their own world, this one stands out.
