Retro Light-up Bar: Head downstairs and flip the switch on the retro light-up bar in the big family room to get the party started. We won’t tell you what kind of party to have—karaoke, costume, cocktail, game night, movie night, chili cook-off—we’ll just let you know there’s a half bath for convenience, and brand new carpet to start you off right (how it ends really depends on your party choices). #homebar #lightupbar #retrobar #basementbar #tacomahomes #dugganhomes

A quirky lunch spot by day that transforms into a chic cocktail and music venue by night, Even After All – recently opened at Joburg’s 44 Stanley – gives a knowing nod to the retro vibes of the ’70s.

The bar is a goldmine for retro artwork featuring musicians that have played at the arena, and striking neon signs – the neon’s change the colour of the interior and create a different atmosphere for guests.

The area has plenty of comfortable seating, making it an enticing location to congregate, linger, and return.
