From chic sundowners at Shimmy Beach to moshing out at Aces & Spades, night life in Cape Town is super fun and caters for all tastes. The main areas to venture to are the V&A Waterfront for dinner by the harbour, Camps Bay for beachside bars and Long Street an eclectic mix of bars and restaurants in the city centre.

Filled to its champagne swilling rafters with Cape Town’s cognesenti
The Grand Cafe in Granger Bay is the perfect day time beach club to enjoy sundowners. Indulge in dinner and dancing on the day beds, while DJ’s spin house tunes till dawn. For a similar boujis vibe also check out
Shimmy Beach Club, but bring your Louboutins in the Lamborghini, it gets dressy after dark.

Dining Out
The roof top Pot Luck Club and sister restaurant The Test Kitchen are Cape Towns hottest restaurants right now. Based in the regenerated factory site of the Old Biscuit Mill complex in Woodstock, expect experimental beautifully presented plates. But make sure you book way in advance, I’m talking weeks, the waiting lists are insane. Alternatively you could always go there for lunch.

Long Street and Central Cape Town
Long Street and the surrounding roads Kloof, Bree and Loop Street are filled with shops, bars and restaurants, the crowd seems to gets more sophisticated (less students and tourists) as Long Street heads into Kloof. Here are some fun venues I checked out, with a little help from my Capetonian friends:
Head to Tjing Tjing just off Long Street for rooftop cocktails and posing.

Eclectic interior at Bombay Bicycle Club

This quirky bohemian bar at the top of Kloof Street has a magically eclectic interior. Have dinner on the mezzanine level watching the antics below or ‘swing’ along with the revellers at the bar.

Camps Bay
If you want to know where the chic set hang out in Cape Town head to Camps Bay. Grown up cocktails overlooking the beach with expensive cars cruising up and down the parade. If you fancy a spot of celeb spotting head to
Cafe Caprice. Or if you prefer somewhere a little less showy but with just as good cocktails try
Paranga a few doors down. Also check out uber chic The
Bungalow in Clifton it’s great for lunch.
