@theathleticclubandsocialthat Athletic Club & Social was once owned by a pharmacist and sports fanatic who had a speakeasy in the establishment’s basement. As of such, the bar’s decor has capitalised on exactly that – 1920s vintage aesthetics. Boasting vintage sports specials and other glossy memorabilia from decades gone by the spot will have you feeling like a Peaky Blinder.
There are three layers of the bar to explore from the balcony to the basement. And, true to Athletic Club’s energy, the drinks menu is in no shortage of old-time favourites.2. The Art of Duplicity One of Cape Town’s favourite secrets no longer resides on the down-low. The Art of Duplicity, AKA the bar behind a famous chocolate shop in Cape Town, was named one of the best bars in the world last year, revealing its magic to the world. However, that hasn’t stopped the bar from continuing to operate like a speakeasy within its hidden Victorian warehouse walls.
Serving up jazz, delightful drinks and the allure of mystery as well as many themed events this is one experience history lovers won’t want to skip.
