Event information
Perched above the V&A Waterfront inside The Silo Hotel, The Willaston Bar pairs panoramic views of Table Mountain and the harbour with a refined yet relaxed cocktail experience. Floor-to-ceiling “pillowed” glass windows by Heatherwick Studio frame the skyline, while richly textured interiors and contemporary African art set an elegant tone from afternoon into late evening.
The drinks list blends classic cocktails with signature creations that feature premium spirits, seasonal produce, and polished technique. A thoughtful wine program highlights top South African estates across bubbles, white, red, and dessert styles, supported by a concise selection of spirits and aperitifs. Guests can order from a bar menu of refined snacks and light plates or dine from The Granary Café menu during service hours, making it an easy stop for sundowners, pre-dinner drinks, or a lingering nightcap.
Reservations are recommended for golden-hour seating, especially on weekends. Service is attentive without fuss, and the setting suits both intimate dates and small groups. Smart-casual attire feels at home in the space.
