This bar has a very chilled ambience to it. I definitely recommend it for drinks during the day as it has a chilled vibe and a great view. Can get really full during the night though so there is limited space. The toilet facilities are very small. The bar men are very funny and friendly, they serve a variety of shots and drinks. The bouncers are very observant. Great place for chills with friends

Wonderful music!! Hip hop, pop, all the bangers you dance to in your bedroom on the dance floor. Just the right amount of dingy 😝

A proper dive bar, good music, friendly staff, 1 pool table. Order a flaming kalishnikov for a pleasant surprise!

Abantu is a great bar. I love going there with my mates. I'm just very disappointed in one of its bouncers. Very rude and disrespectful. I can't go back after the bad experience that I've had on the last two nights of going there
