Man, this place is just awesome. The vibe and music really put a smile on your face and it always feels like everyone there is having a good time. Ordering a cocktail is a no-brainer, especially during happy hour. Try the Old Fashioned, I promise you won't be disappointed. The pizzas are great too! Overall great experience and good value for money, even if you're a broke student.

This place is an absolute gem with immaculate positioning in the student hub that is Melville. Came here for my friend’s graduation lunch and we were nothing but impressed. The specials on pizzas and cocktails meant we over exhausted our appetites and left well and truly satisfied. The waiter was also very knowledgable and was quick to suggest foods and drinks.

To many more celebrations here.

I absolutely love this place. The vibe and service are great!! Tried multiple cocktails, and they were all so tasty, especially the Patron Frappe... The rum runner should be had at ones own risk.

Will definitely be coming back

So whilst walking on the streets of Melville, we spotted the happy hour 12 to 7pm sign and ran straight in. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks and food. For R60, I had 2 gin cocktails. Wow! The veg platter tapa and pizza we had were both delicious. Service is fantastic. Reason for 4 star is that the owner came by and the ambience of the place changed. He was shouting at staff and I felt that was disrespectful to patrons as we are supporting that same owner's business. The staff were very attentive but I fear standards will drop due to this fear of top management. If that could change, this place would be a return go to spot for me.

The food was delicious. They have a special on cocktails, buy one get one free which ensures you stay there for a long while. We ordered a couple of cocktails and they were very good. Since it was my birthday we received complimentary shots. I was happy to see that they were willing to accommodate one of my friends who was not a drinker by giving her a shot of passionfruit and lemonade. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to going again :)

Another great place with amazing drinks and good food. Their drink selection is huge! You won’t get bored with selection of drinks. The nice thing about this place is the specials of “Buy One, Get One Free.” The food isn’t bad.

Definitely one of my all time favourite cocktails bars. My friends & I can come here every week without a second thought. They have a very wide selection of cocktails, along with good food that fits the chilled vibe of the place. They also have the best nachos I've ever had & they never get them wrong without fail.
The service is always on par & the waiters never fail to check on you, advise on drinks & treat you well. Always worth going to!

hadn't been to this spot in a few years. The vibe was fantastic and the service was friendly. They have a huge range of cocktails which makes things very interesting, their special buy 1 and get a 2nd free cocktail ensured that the drinks flowed.

We ordered the chicken nachos to nimble on, they were fantastic. Their Jalapeño poppers were hot as hell bur everyone seemed to enjoy them. all and all, it's still a decent spot to have a sundowner

I always enjoy the cocktails at Six as well as the atmosphere. The food is good and prices reasonable. We has a mixed platter and the chicken kebabs were so great. The vegetarian options were quite bland and for the diversity in items I was let down by the lack of different tastes, and the 'uniformity' of it all.

Nonetheless, the experience and drinks are always good.

Six Cocktail Bar (6's)

"Nachos Nachos Nachos! may I please have some Cocktails with my Nachos..."
Not only is 6's in the opening sequence of 7de laan which is simply just amazing, it's an institution just as 7de laan is.

Working in the City and living in Northcliff Hill, my journey home saw me driving pass 6's everyday.
And so I am delighted to say I have had every cocktail on the menu, all 60 twice ;-) courtesy of happy hour.

Dare not stick a cigarette in your mouth, you will have a hundred lighters lighting you up....amazing stuff that I have never seen anywhere else.

The Nachos are amazing...one can't describe them. You just need to have them.
6's has different dynamics to it and patrons change and changes depending on the time you visit this simply amazing cocktail bar/restaurant.

Lunch Times are normally your office workers, having business get togethers....a few walk in students. Night Times in the week is your very much still working class and couples.
However your Friday and Saturday night....student infestation.

6's caters for just about every crowd.

Remember students are students...
We were all students or some here probably still are.
I have seen some crazy things happen at 6's... crazy funny.

Aaah my student days....I was bullet proof ;-)

For the best Nachos in town 6's

The best bar in Johannesburg to combine social buzz with a wide variety of cocktails. The tapas are pretty good and the prices are relatively affordable. Casual dates are good here in this relaxed environment. I generally love the relaxed vibe here, no matter the occasion.

100% the best Nachos in Johannesburg, hands down. The sauce they use is incredible, the cheese generous and the guac sensational; the perfect recipe. I could talk about their nachos for days but I'll use some self restraint and move this review on. Their other food is also really good although I must admit I mostly ever had their nachos. They have a lovely variety of tapas. I've tried their samoosas, spring rolls, haloumi, and chili poppers. All really good, their vege spring rolls are exceptionally good.

I have never had a waiter here who wasn't amazing. They're always so friendly, ready to suggest a killer cocktail and all around add to the vibe. The vibe is great with a banging play list and cool colours and decor.

Their cocktail menu is extensive and the ones I've had were great. They have a happy hour (7 hours) every day from 12 til 7 where it's two-for-one which makes the experience friendly with the wallet even.

Despite all the great options of restaurants in the area this is the clear winner for me, so give it a visit!

The food here is absolutely delicious and tasty. The waiters are swift and just as your drink hits hallway they are there to ask if they must tell the bar tender to get you another one. Their cocktails are stunning and who could ever complain about a 2 for 1 cocktail?

Love this place!! Where do I start?
Love the extensive list of cocktails and shooters on the menu. You're really spoilt for choice! The food menu is equally exciting(though they don't have a lot of vegetarian options on the menu)- but if there's one thing you try- it has to be the nachos!! For a bar, the food here is really amazing!!
Then the service- probably the best service I have seen in Joburg in a really long time!! Food took a bit long but it was worth it :)
Nice ambience, loud music and a great vibe! Must go back!!

For the feeling of a bustling city while being hidden away by latin deco and music, only that can be found at Six.

A personal favourite when in the creative mood while visiting one of the most creative urban areas in the region.

Word of warning, One helping of Nachos and a whiskey sour will convince you of asking for vip membership. Spoiler alert, there is none.

Needing a bite to eat with our beers, and seeing as the kitchen was closed where we were, we headed to Six for the best nachos in Joburg. We were seated at a shared table, which added to the experience and meant that not only did we make new friends but we also landed up staying far longer than we planned and introducing our new friends to our favourite cocktail: the chocolate martini. Not a place for a quick drink, definitely a place to meet new friends, linger, and enjoy the excellent food and most tasty cocktails.

It was our first night in Joburg starting a long trip. Dropped by because it looked appealing and we have not been deceived. The owner was very receptive, the cocktails delicious, the best pinnacolada I ever had. The steak was the best my husband and I have had throughout our whole tour in South Africa!    I would also pay special attention to the young Bernie who is so nice and was very attentive to our request.  We spent a nice evening with the music and the young around even though we are in our 60's.

Cocktails! Cocktails! Cocktails! For days! My head was spinning I did not know what to drink. So many options. I Recommend the Voodoo Vodka.

Never have I been to a place that is so determined to get you drunk. Best customer service I have seen ever! The waitrons know exactly what to recommend and very friendly.

The Nachos are good but not the best for me, the only reason this is not a 5 is because the happy hour special was not explained properly. So i forfeited 6 free cocktails đŸ˜€ but I definately will be going back to Drink all the cocktails!

This place is amazing. Firstly, the menu has a wide selection of cocktails & cocktails that suit all personalities. Secondly, the service is amazing. The manager approached us a few times & our waitress was on point - always checking on us & immediately changing the ash tray (even with 1 cigarette in) and lastly the vibe. As its a small place, sometimes you're joined with strangers... Nice way to meet new people & I don't mind that. The music is loud & the people are louder. Will be back to try the delicious looking food (restaurant open till 01:00)

Having been around for more than a decade, Six Bar appears to be the one constant in the ever changing Melville landscape. In fact Six has even cracked a nod on the World's Best Bars directory.

Their cocktail menu is extensive, with over 60 cocktails on offer and the maraschino cherry on top, they have a daily happy hour which actually has a seven hour duration! The bar is unpretentious and I just love the chilled 7th Avenue vibe. So grab yourself an uber and get to work on that cocktail menu.

Best NACHOS in town!!!!!! They aren't selfish with their portions and toppings. You have to go for the 2 for 1 drink specials that start at 12pm and finish at 7pm. The bar gets full pretty quickly but you can reserve a table. The music is great, the food not too bad and the drinks amazing and you won't leave their with all your pennies finished.

Lately,  I feel more like I am drinking my way around Melville than eating it, but I am loving it! My favourite place for a cocktail on this street is SIX bar (and restaurant) which has incredible R55 cocktail selections, enthusiastic barmen and an unmistakably comfy, sofa vibe about it - so it would make sense that the first time that I visited this spot was as a student many years ago! SIX has stood the test of time and turns 12 this year, but it has come a long way since I was a student and it has had a face lift or two since then, keeping it on trend.  I plan to head there again for a lazy afternoon of cocktail drinking (and photographing) soon so I will update this review then with some photos.                                    *Recommendation: Ask about their two-for-one cocktail specials which I hear last seven hours (yes, you heard me right).. you won't be disappointed.

Oh beware!

You might start by just joining a couple of friends for an after dinner drink/cocktail...
The next thing you know, you are having your 3rd shooter with 2 cocktails to follow and dancing to some awesome music with any number of friendly patrons!

The cocktails and drinks specials are good, the bartenders are better And overall always a fun experience which will keep you out later than you anticipated!

Landed there yesterday afternoon with 4 friends. We were there at 330 pm with the intention of a couple of cocktails but the vibe / atmosphere / music / bar menu ensured we only leave after 6 hours. Needless to say the cocktails were fantastic - I'm biased towards a good mojito and they didn't disappoint. We also ordered a non veg platter enough for the 5 of us. Ending the night at around 2200 each of us would have had around 7 cocktails and 4 shooters and ended up spending 500 per head. Incl of a 20% tip. Overall great pocket friendly fun. Much recommended.

Need a drink? Want it to be a cocktail? Want it to be an awesome cocktail? Need it in the afternoon? Sixes is where you go! They have a daily cocktail special from midday until 7 where it's buy one get one free! This is one of the best deals you can get! Sixes is always vibey and is a fantastic way to ease yourself into Melville. Give the Patrone based cocktails a try as these are pretty great.

From the time you step into the establishment, you’re greeted by a nice wide open seating space and the vibe automatically sets you up to enjoy your evening! From 11am - 7pm every day, all cocktails are buy one and get the same ordered free - who doesn’t like a freebie alcoholic drink (hint: try the gentleman jack) Had a pizza - Perfect Size! Perfect Base! Perfect Toppings! Perfection! My mate had the Mozambican Peri Peri Wings and Chips - he said the best in town! Their food is on point! Service can be a mixture between fast and slow, however you’d hardly notice because you’ll be having a gas listening to the music, which by the way is a jukebox, so you control what you wanna listen to (R5 a song) - depends on which side you’re sitting! Fun establishment to hang with your mates or girlfriend’s - chilled vibe - mixture crowd - diverse, young and mature!
