Henry - Kalkbaai iNingizimu Afrika

Tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of the street, this cocktail bar offers a cozy atmosphere with dim lighting. The cocktails are reasonably priced at around $16 each, especially for LA standards. Service was a mixed bag; although we were promptly served water without having to ask, getting the bartenders' attention to place our order was a bit of a challenge. We sat at the bar with closed menus and tried to catch their eye multiple times, but it took a while before we were acknowledged. I’d understand when it’s busy but it was us and one other patron. Overall, the experience was good once we got our drinks.

Drinks are always solid. Andrew makes some amazing cocktails and always crafts them to exactly what we are in the mood for. Hole in the wall spot but don’t pass it up!

Cute, small, dimly lit bar that is intimate and perfect for a date. Excellent cocktails and amazing service. Love the vibe, and the high fi music playing. Cant wait to make this my go to spot!

Wouldn’t let us finish our drinks at 1.55am. We had maybe 3 or 4 sips left and would definitely have been out by 2. They had lots of clearing to do and we weren’t at all in the way. Could have easily left us and finished closing up, but instead this happened:

I would describe it as a classy drive bar. Dive in the sense that it's not really on the beaten path or typical cluster of bars/restaurants and has a laid back welcoming feel, but still typical prices when it comes to cocktails. It's also a mix of a hangout for locals and a convenient find for those driving down sunset after an event. Plenty of seating and a nice ambiance. Definitely a big upgrade from the bar that used to be in that spot.
