    You gotta try South African gin and this is the place to go. They have the best selection, bartenders can explain everything and prices are reasonable too. They also curate special cocktails weekly. It shares space with a chocolatier and a ramen shop, so you never have to leave. If you want a quiet drink go when they open.

    Still a beautiful bar and location. But unfortunately not the same since the Accord Group took over. No more Tapas menu which used to be great. Not even a cookie (and they were always delicious) by the coffee anymore. Also, the complete lockdown for two years while not necessary hasn’t done them any good. It’s a pity. I still give them 4 stars cause it’s a beautiful place and position by the yachts. Just bring the spike back please

    I have always gone for drinks but this time decided to try their burgers. Highly recommend the burgers, they were delicious and cooked to perfection!
    It was shocking to see their wine prices shoot up so much in one week!

    Nice bar with interesting decor, cowboy style, friendly staff and easy parking, small but a nice atmosphere.

    Crazy / loud / vibey and funky all at once !! Loved it - quite a young and refreshing crowd so not for a quiet night. Really great cocktails.

    Had a very enjoyable and memorable evening in The Crypt. Club is located in the crypt of St George's Cathedral in central Cape Town so a very interesting location. It's quite a small area but we found the service to be good, the food was tasty and the jazz show was great.

    You'll have to go up a couple of flights of stairs to get to your drink. Keep climbing, though, because if you're as lucky as I was, you and your friends could be enjoying your drinks on The Waiting Room's roof, which overlooks Long Street; it was quite a surprise because I didn't really know the roof was accessible. Having our drinks up in the air, gave our night out a good spin.

    Don't drink too much, though; you'll have to go down all those steps to get out . . . ;)

    So much more than a restaurant. Held a work dinner there for overseas visitors. They loved the African drumming, dancing and singing. The food was delicious and a real taste of Africa. Highly recommend.

    After a long international flight and a bit of a nap, we pulled up our bootstraps and set out for a low key New Year’s celebration. This fit us neatly with a very reasonable prix fixe drink and appetizer package, good music and a welcoming band of locals in this cozy, tucked away spot. We even were treated to the “local special” by a Capetown welcomer. Had a good laugh when we found out it was Southern Comfort. Great memories and a warm embrace here for some weary travelers.

    What a stunning evening! The VIP section was so secure and the staff was very attentive. Our table was kept clean and the "crew" member was so polite every time we needed something. Loved the vibe, but it did get a bit stuffy when the club got packed. I'll definitely be going there again.

    The decor is interesting and gives the impression to have landed in the jungle...
    The staff was very friendly, but the service was a bit slow to start and a bit to quick after having started...
    The food (part of the restaurant week menu was OK. The pizette at the starter was amazing, the fish was a bit too fishy for me (personal taste), due to the seafood sauce, but the meat was apparently cooked to perfection and very tender... My desert was not amazing, but the cognac flamed ice cream was a success.
    The Chef came to our table to explain the different dishes we order, which was quite nice and gave a personal and human touch...
    It was overall a nice evening, but I doubt I'll come back here again.

    We settled in on the balcony one week night for a quick relaxed family dinner. To our surprise they were still running a number of specials.. Cocktails at R30 each (not at all watered down) and any two large pizzas for R100. The food took a bit long to arrive but it was worth it, toppings are generous and tasty.

    Had so much fun at Bobs when I visited Cape Town. Was the place I always ended up, great crowd, great music, and a fairly reasonable night out
