Mother\u2019s Ruin Gin Bar is a concept gin joint in Bree Street, which opened it\u2019s doors nearly three years ago.

Mother\u2019s Ruin Gin Bar<\/h4>\n

The exterior is somewhat reminiscent of a speak-easy\u2026 blending perfectly into its surroundings at the top of Bree Street, with no real signage besides the name just above the windows \u2013 giving patrons a sense that they are onto something trendy but with old-world charm. The interior is dimly lit with high wooden tables and stools and low hanging plants. The wooden bar is a front for a treasure trove of bottles of the best gins imported from around the world and displayed in an eye-catching array of sizes, ages and colours.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beautiful wooden floor leads to stairs at the far end of the room which takes you to a comfortable chill-out lounging area with a magnificent white leather. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The wind protected, open-air courtyard with twinkling fairy lights overhead is reminiscent of something you might find in New York City \u2013 just the place to unwind with a couple drinks, catch up with friends and to enjoy one of the charcuterie platters to share.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mother\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

Take your pick from classic gin cocktails, or be adventurous and try one of the bars gin-reimagined delights such as Marmalade Tea, a Sencha-based cocktail with an incredibly refreshing kick, or a Dirty Sanchez, red vermouth, cherry liqueur, bitters and gin. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t worry, you won\u2019t be judged for sticking to the old faithful G&T \u2013 this is the spot to have the perfect version. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A seemingly endless list of different gins are on offer and can be paired with one of your favourite tonics and a garnish of your choice, such as lime, cucumber and mint. With such a crafted product one can expect to wait a few minutes for a drink, but the end product is well worth it, so why not kick back in the beautiful setting and enjoy the finest that Cape Town has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n
