If there’s one thing for sure, Social Parkwood lives up to its name! This recently opened spot has already become a top hang-out venue … the place to mingle and meet new people. It’s seriously vibrant … oranges, blues and African-inspired murals set the tone of this trendy bar scene. Afternoons effortlessly roll into evenings – especially on Friday and Saturday nights when the DJ plays soulful house, Afro and jazz. The drinks menu is detailed … seriously, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the huge selection of cocktails, gins, beers and wines. But the menu offers help too – there’s a taste map so you can find just the right drink to suit your palate (or mood). Our top pick? The personalised G&Ts … choose your fave gin, add flavourants, tonic and top it off with some garnish … all of your own fancy (what fun!). On the cocktail list … we highly recommend the Pornstar martini (pictured) served with fresh passionfruit and a side tot of bubbly – fruity, silky and oh-so-yum! The menu’s locally-themed and has some really tasty easy-to-share options … great for a large group of mates. Trust us, the Tshisha Nyama sharing platter is a must-try … the truffled Parmesan pap will have you licking the plate! Open daily from noon.
