Established in 2014, The Gin Bar has carved a niche for itself by specializing in South African gins, boasting over 70 local varieties. Its unique entrance through the Honest Chocolate Café leads patrons into a Mediterranean-esque courtyard, providing an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. ​ The bar's menu draws inspiration from the building's historical use as a morgue, with signature gin and tonic offerings playfully named as cures for various ailments, such as melancholy or impulse buying. Beyond its gin selection, The Gin Bar also caters to beer and wine aficionados and has recently introduced a Bubbly Bar, expanding its beverage repertoire. ​ Patrons can enjoy their drinks in the secret courtyard, a space that has been likened to a Mediterranean retreat, enhancing the overall experience.
