Top 10 Bars & Clubs in Western Cape, South Africa

December 7, 2021 Joeann Galban

South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

My wife found these reasonable priced tickets for a pre Valentine celebration play. It was a very casual evening. It was not well attended but we really had a good time. Will recommend for a budget evening of good value entertainment

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life, by taking a drive out to Noordhoek village. The coffee shops, quaint restaurants, ice cream shops, kids play areas, and the general life that makes up Noordhoek living will enchant you. Locals come for a coffee on horseback, or barefoot, or with a pack of dogs and all spill into the street as they chat away. Such a great variety of food and best of all the beach is a few km's away.

The Leopard Bar

Reviewed By julianp623

A friend told us to visit the hotel and the leopard bar to come and watch the sunset and wow was he right. The outside terrace is the place to watch a daily treat of the sun going down. Truly amazing. The bar itself is brilliant, loads of staff catering for your alcoholic needs. Very friendly despite the posh surrounding and as the RAND is cheap the the mighty pound it’s very reasonable too. Definitely recommend a visit, we also had tea at the grill room (see separate review) again very good and well priced.

Ok, so when one of my friends suggested we have a Friday afternoon drink at a Whisky Bay, me being a gin drinker - I wasn’t to keen. I can honestly say I’m so glad she talked me into going! The Bascule Whisky, Wine and Cocktail Bar is located on the water’s edge of the beautiful Victoria & Alfred Waterfront marina, with relaxing views back over the marina to Table Mountain. If you’re having trouble finding it the bar is at the bottom of the renowned Cape Grace Hotel. Boasting a selection of over 400 whiskies from around the world, along with an exceptional selection of the Cape’s most renowned wines, there truly is something for everyone. We arrived at the bar at about 4.30pm on a Friday evening, everyone is well dressed and the bar has a cool nautical theme, you can sit outside, we chose inside out of the heat. If your knowledge of Whisky is not the best, I would strongly suggest you try the Tastings, a selection of 3 Whisky’s, along with tasting notes so you can look like you know what you are doing. We must have looked a little like armatures lol, so it was so nice to have one of the managers sit down with us and talk us through the tasting (See photo of him below). I should also mention that all the staff were so genuine and friendly, great service. The bar gets a lot busier at night; it really is the place to be seen in Cape Town, lively music and tasty tapas dishes. Sure it's a little upmarket, however well worth the experience, don’t miss it.

The Thursty Turtle

Funky and loungey bar in Bloubergstrand with the best barladies in town and a few tricks here and there. Not to brag but we are an institution of fun!! We are a local sportsbar during the day that changes into a killer night spot , with great drink specials and sick beats ! You can literally always find a booze special- just remember tipping is part of our industry in SA. ;)
