Art of Duplicity

Cape Town, South Africa

Putting other so-called speakeasies to shame, the Art of Duplicity actually is a hidden bar, with little more on its website than a link to book a table. Obtain the password, locate the secret venue within a Victorian warehouse in central Cape Town, and you’ll be immersed in a time gone by, when Prohibition was in force and cocktails were served behind closed doors such as this one. The bartenders look the part, as does this intimate space, right down to the last vintage detail. Cocktails are among the best in the city – an inventive list of signature drinks, beautifully presented. Head down on a Friday or Saturday night for live jazz to completely immerse yourself in this bygone era.
