Shakers Cocktail Bar

They tried to scam me, presumably because I am a tourist. Lady with a hat followed me in from the street into the bar. I had to flag the bartender for his attention because he was sitting on his phone behind the bar. They didn’t have vodka. Bartender specifically asked if I wanted a double I explicitly said no. Bill came back from lady with a hat double charging me. I asked about the charge and she said I ordered a double. She said she couldn’t take one drink back because it was already mixed. After being caught they resolved the issue. I saw them behind the bar later pointing and giggling. I work too hard for my money to be played with, especially when a double shot is not an actual double shot. I can’t recommend this place

Great on Sundays, All gays in Jozi come to party at shakers on Sunday, I had a great time

Great place with friendly staff. Place has affordable food and drinks, they need to improve their restrooms ... it was a nightmare, sink doesn't work, door handles were broken and if you were to find toilet paper it'd be on the floor. Also … great music

Friends invited me to meet up with them over at Shakers on a Saturday night. Not the best experience. It was so full I had people stepping on my toes several times, it was impossible to dance. Paid 50 bucks for entrance, music is great and loud, drinks are not too expensive, and there’s plenty of pretty ladies. Bouncers are rude though.

The bar is lit. It gives a great weekend experience. The VIP section, rooftop and bar is well structured and has class. The tables have enough space between them to allow dancing for "shakers" in the mood. They serve a wide variety of alcohol at reasonable prices. It's one of the hyped places in Maboneng
