Charné van Heerden was the life and soul of House of Machines, and there was probably a collective "Booooo!" when people heard she was moving on after six years behind the bar. Lucky for the crew, she only moved across the road, and opened her own very chilled, late-night cocktail lounge. HIBALL serves a range of cleverly-wrought cocktails in high ball glasses, along with flavoursome and comforting risottos. The idea is that it's not too raucous. You can linger over your drink and natter the night away, with a nourishing bowl to fill you up and the end of a night's 'gezelligheit'. We chatted about the joys and the challenges of opening your own shop - lessons learned and moves never-to-be-repeated.Check out HIBALL hereMessage me here with comments or guest suggestions.Treat yourself - order direct from Zuney WagyuGet a fair price with HeadsUpTop Restaurants in Cape Town according to the Inside Guide Survey  www.rwm2012.com On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay
