Acid Bar is the dynamic newcomer in Joburg’s food scene, redefining culinary experiences with its innovative approach and vibrant atmosphere. With a daring fusion of flavours and creative mixology, Acid Bar is set to leave an indelible mark on Johannesburg’s gastronomic landscape.

A Vision of Culinary Innovation: Crafting a Unique Dining Experience
The journey began with an ardent ambition to liberate diners from the routine of predictable eateries. The duo’s aim was to present a fresh and exhilarating experience for culinary and wine aficionados. Drawing from their extensive backgrounds in the hospitality industry, Jemma and Jessie united to forge a haven that exudes intimacy, warmth, and hospitality – an oasis for relaxation, socialisation, and the exploration of new gastronomic delights.
A Culinary Adventure: Exploring Acid’s Ever-Changing Menu
At Acid, the exceptional experience lies in their ever-evolving menu, thoughtfully curated on a weekly basis. Indulge in a menu showcasing a fusion of international flavours, drawing inspiration from both local and global culinary traditions. With a special focus on South East Asian tastes, Acid offers a diverse range of options, from small plates to hearty entrees, all crafted with a dedication to using fresh, premium ingredients guaranteed to satiate your palate.


A Wine Lover’s Haven
This selection showcases natural, minimally intervened wines sourced from independent producers who often fly under the radar or prove elusive to find. Prioritising female and BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and People of Colour) producers, the wine offerings are not only diverse but also tantalisingly delicious. With an array ranging from effervescent bubblies to crisp whites, rich reds, and delicate rosés, there’s a sip to suit every palate.
Wine Wednesdays
At Acid, every detail is thoughtfully considered, from the weekly bar takeovers to the Wine Wednesdays with a small, limited menu that runs for the week. The food and wine menus are carefully curated to offer something new and exciting with every visit, providing wine lovers the opportunity to experiment and try a variety of wines — without committing to an unknown bottle. This commitment to exploration and discovery sets Acid apart as a haven for both seasoned oenophiles and those eager to expand their vinous horizons.
