Xai Xai Lounge, Johannesburg

Xai Xai Lounge (pronounced shy shy) is on the famous 7th Street in Melville which is known for its vibrant nightlife. Xai Xai is named after a beach resort in Mozambique and has the ambiance to go with it. The word on the street is that this cocktail bar serves the best Caipirinhas in Joburg. Xai Xai attracts the young Bohemian types and the budding artists who gather here to trade stories and inspiration over cold beer. The lounge serves great Portuguese-African fare like grilled shrimp. Try the wacky cocktails named after famous people—Nelson Mandela and Graca Machel go together!
