Harringtons Cocktail Lounge

Harringtons Cocktail Lounge is a cocktail bar on Harrington Street in Cape Town's District Six, run as an upstairs lounge rather than a conventional restaurant. Regulars describe reasonable pricing, good food and an enjoyable vibe, built around a Wednesday tapas evening that pairs small plates with wine, plus occasional supper-and-tasting nights built around a visiting wine estate.

The lounge keeps a later, nightlife-driven rhythm than a typical bar, trading from mid-afternoon into the small hours from Wednesday through to Saturday. It suits drinkers and diners after cocktails with a tapas-style food offering and a late-night setting in the East City area, rather than an early sit-down dinner crowd looking for a quiet table.
