Shabooh Shoobah

Brunswick West has a serious heavyweight. Shabooh Shoobah hits that elusive sweet spot—impeccable drinks, zero pretension. Former locals still trek across town just to claim a barstool here, lured by the deep crates of vinyl Houtan and the crew spin all night. The soundtrack? Flawless wax. The drinks? A masterclass. Barflies point straight to the Mexican Mule, but the wine list is equally cracking. Settle into the cozy, low-lit space. Order a round of smart cocktails or bespoke mocktails. Load up on salty grazing bites—pistachios, olives, pretzels—and let Sam behind the stick work his magic. Pure, unadulterated hospitality.
