Hell's Kitchen

Johannesburg


Forget which year it is as you enter this speakeasy-themed bar that has rooms hidden behind bookshelves and a tattoos and bikers vibe. An extensive cocktail menu, cold craft beer and food prepared on an open flame will snap you back to the present. There's also live music on the weekends.
