On a busy Joburg corner, this place does great tapas, fab cocktails and their decor is simply divine.

A Street Bar Named Desire stands out from the crowd with its plush emerald green interiors and expansive first floor terrace overlooking Art Gallery Row on Jan Smuts Avenue. From the deep jade-green walls and plush couches to the velvet fringed barstools that line the marble topped bar and fantastic sapphire-coloured day beds on the deck upstairs, the look and feel is casual luxury with a playful edge embodied by quirky sketches of a young Marlon Brando and offbeat photos inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1950s thrillers hanging on the walls. The staff are fun, friendly and just the right side of flirtatious without forgetting that the most important part of the job is making sure you get a good cocktail. Drinks are named for lines and scenes from the Tennessee Williams play (perk up after a long day with The Kindness of Strangers made with gin, lime juice, bitters and spiced rhubarb)
