The Crypt

Jazz bar in the basement of a historic cathedral

The Crypt wins hands down in the unusual-venue department: we reckon you haven’t been to a jazz lounge tucked away beneath a historic church before. These days, the basement of St. George’s Cathedral plays host to a rotating roster of live acts — look out for local and international names like Delft Big Band, Ndumiso Manana, and Danielle Bitton.
