Stumbled across this Bar whilst looking for a bar and chill spot in Johburg. Great music. Great vibe. And the Shisha for R250. The drinks were reasonable priced as well. Just a great night out.

A trendy spot in a trendy location. On a Saturday night near pay day I witnessed a packed house with a queue out the front door waiting to get in. Inside was just as packed as the pavement was and it was mostly standing room only. If you're the type of person who likes crowds and being seen in that kind of scene this place will be for you. But if you prefer a more quite time somewhere around the corner might suit you better.

We stumbled by a street bar named desire whilst out with my wife in Rosebank. The atmosphere and the music was really great. With a great mix of people. I loved the service and the drinks were decently priced. They had shisha for R250 if I remember correctly. That was also good. I would definitely recommend if you want a good bar when visiting Johannesburg.

We visited A Streetbar Named Desire for the Drag Quiz and it was so much fun! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was delicious and the service was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The tapas was delicious, we enjoyed sharing and having a taste of a few different things. The cocktails were delicious as well as beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Pretty neat spot. It gets busy at night so finding a table to sit at can be difficult. That's probably be why a lot of people reserve tables instead of just walking in. There's an upstairs, a downstairs section and a sidewalk section. The upstairs section is really open with a big open area. Both the downstairs and upstairs have bars. Their cuisine seems to be quite Mexican. So expect a lot of tapas. The service is alright. Nothing to complain about it.

Went at lunch time weekend to the deck section Staff very attentive and found us a table. Lots of reserved tables laid out. The menu, while small, has very tasty tapas food and this place is great for sharing dishes. The deck is exposed to a busy street, so if your are sensitive to that, advise to stay in doors, downstairs. We will be back.

This is a really great spot! The food was divine and so were the cocktails. Bees were just bothering my friends but nature will be nature. The service was really great and they also have shisha which you can enjoy while sipping on your cocktail.
