Retro decor, rooftop bar, graffiti + feast for two (you won’t believe the cost)
"Please don't do coke in the bathroom", the neon sign above the toilet door shouts in bright red. This will give you some idea of the colourful and quirky decor in local Kloof Street hangout, The Wolf House. It also has a rooftop bar with spectacular views, cocktails, and a deal of the month that will blow you away.

Bring a friend or your boo and get a feast for two at The Wolf House. R199 will get you one chicken burger and one beef burger (with gravy to dip them in), chilli cheese fries for two, six cheese balls and 6 peri-peri chicken wings. The Wolf House also has starters, like halloumi fries and lamb nuggets, plus salad, nachos, pizza and ribs. There are also vegetarian options available.
Happy “hour” is from 3pm - 7pm, Monday to Friday, and Sundays. You can get craft beer for R35, a double Dewar's 12 Year Old Whiskey or Bombay Sapphire flavoured gin & tonic for R45. 
This feast for two is only R199 - nobody is leaving hungry. Image: Warren Papier
This local hotspot has 3 seating options: Indoors, at tables set on various levels; in an open area with trees that’s partially covered with a skylight roof; or the best spot in the house – upstairs on the rooftop. There you’ll find beautiful views of Table Mountain (best at sunset), colourful lights, hanging plants and the coolest trailer bar.
Get every cocktail you desire at the airstream trailer bar. Image: Simone Strydom
The Wolf House decor is retro meets trendy. The downstairs bar is covered with artful graffiti and look out for the amusing neon signs. Old-school TVs take you back in time, hanging plants give the space a fresh feel and colourful string-lights add a whimsical feel. The detail here is not only appealing, but entertaining.
This amusing sign is popular amongst the young crowd for the perfect Insta photo. Image: Mark Schultz
The Wolf House is open: Monday to Sunday, 12pm to 10pm
