There was a time when Melville lost a bit of its cool factor. Beset by competition from Braamfontein and Maboneng, the old neighbourhood looked destined to decay into a watering hole for ageing hippies. Happily, Melville is not going gentle into that good night and one of the main reasons for that is Jo'anna Melt Bar.Styled in a way that a construction worker might call luxurious, the bar-cum- restaurant boasts finishes one expects when one hears the term "craft".It is not the décor, however, that gives Jo'anna Melt Bar its charm. Like Hell's Kitchen across the road, the bar has rekindled Melville's ability to entice all manner of weirdos to coalesce around the potential a tequila-fuelled evening offers.Whether it be arty Maboneng types who spend their days as bankers and their nights wanting to own organic charcuteries, or graphic designers with odd fetishes, everyone who walks through Jo'anna Melt Bar's doors has a story to tell.Couple that with an interesting menu and a wide selection of libations and it is not hard to see why their doors are bursting at the seams more often than not.Jo'anna Melt Bar is open Monday to Saturday.
