A nineteen-twenties Masaki villa converted into a multi-room bar and restaurant, a five-minute walk from the Slipway. The big garden is the draw — bare bulbs in a fig tree, low cushioned seating, a fire pit lit on cool evenings, and a smoker by the kitchen door that turns out pulled pork and ribs through the small hours. Live music two or three nights a week tilts toward jazz and Afrobeat.
Drinks list is sensible — a long beer card, a small selection of South African and Italian wines, decent cocktails. Kitchen runs late on Friday and Saturday. Cover charge on live-music nights; it is the most reliable place in the city for a slow night-out that includes a kitchen.
