Cape Town nightlife takes off in its beach bars then, as the sun sets, Cape Town
nightlife splits. The younger crowd frequent Long Street's nightclubs
while De Waterkant and Mouille Point cater for Cape Town's more
sophisticated audience. On Broadway is Cape Town's best nightlife venue
for cabaret and the V&A Waterfront amphitheatre hosts free art
performances. If you're into bohemian nightlife, head for Observatory,
one of Cape Town's historic suburbs.
Cape Town nightlife: bars
When it comes to bars, Tamboerskloof nightlife leads the way in Cape Town,
with huge terraces and a stylish crowd chatting over fancy cocktails. If
that's not your scene, Observatory has the grungiest nightlife in
Cape Town. For something in between, join the Cape Town bar-hopping culture to
sample the city's varied nightlife.
Cape Town nightlife: clubs
From around 11pm, Cape Town nightlife switches to club mode. Dance to deep house in
the club-lined Long Street or catch live rock in Zonnebloem. You can
mix with globetrotting models visiting Cape Town and local 30-somethings in the
multi-roomed clubs in De Waterkant. Or mingle with Cape Town's mixed
crowd in Mouille Point and party on to the nightlife sounds of Latin and jazz
in nearby Green Point.
Cape Town nightlife: entertainment
Nice venues and a rich programme of events stimulate Cape Town's restless
nightlife. Check what's on at Cape Town's theatres or let the
V&A Waterfront surprise you with free shows. Live music at
Mercury Lounge is big news in Cape Town, but the slicker bars and clubs
of Mouille Point and De Waterkant offer a more glamorous nightlife.
Everyone loves sipping champagne in Cape Town's Camps Bay.
