about us

Nestling in the heart of Bree Street behind blacked out windows, The Wiggle Room is an illicit speakeasy, a joint for initiates and insiders, a members only sanctum where something unanticipated and meaningful will occur. IYKYK.

Music and Taste. A particular alchemy.

A speakeasy jazz bar flipped into a culinary cipher. Each dish melding with music, bubbling with creativity, served alongside the playlist that sparked it. Flavour, rhythm, and soul locked tight. Fine dining with fire in the soul.

Who puts the Wiggle in The Wiggle Room.

Chef Ismail “Fish” Amos brings bold, story-driven cooking shaped by Durban roots. Alongside him, Lester “The Legend” Riffel crafts inventive cocktails in perfect sync, together creating immersive nights to remember.
