neighbourhood


Neighbourhood is your ‘hood
away from home where you
can put your feet up and chill.
Watch the eclectic Long Street
crowds go by from the balcony,
languish in an armchair over
a game of chess or engage in
some friendly banter with new-
ly made friends over an ice-cold
Grolsch and a game of foosball.
Comfortable and laid back, it’s
the perfect spot if you’re in the
mood for a night “in”.

the grand daddy


Long Street’s Grand Daddy
Hotel is truly a hedonist’s para-
dise – decadent with a touch of
cheeky fun. Take your pick of
four über-hip bars and loung-
es, the best of which is the
baroque-bling- themed Daddy
Cool’s, which also houses Cape
Town’s only digital art and pho-
tographic gallery. And don’t
dare leave without visiting the
hotel’s Airstream Rooftop Trail-
er Park and outdoor cinema,
where each mobile-home inte-
rior has been uniquely decorat-
ed by SA’s trendiest designers.

headQuarters


The juxtapositioning of a
sleek and modern restaurant
inside one of Cape Town’s old-
est buildings is pure genius.
And the brilliance doesn’t end
there – these folks know how to
cook a sirloin steak to perfec-
tion too. In fact they’re so good
at it, that it’s the only thing on
the menu! And we know just
the beer to complement the
perfect steak – what else but
a fi nely brewed and superbly
balanced Grolsch? Stop by on
a Friday evening to mingle with
the city’s savvy business set
and enjoy DJ Rene’s Nu-Disco
and Latin house sounds.

Café Caprice


The café of choice for the beau-
tiful, fashionable and some-
times famous. With stunning
views of Camps Bay beach
and the tanned shoulders of
Nordic models, Caprice’s un-
apologetic exclusivity makes
it THE place to get a table - par-
ticularly around big sporting
events, thanks to its big screen
TVs and the regular crowd of
local sports stars willing to of-
fer their opinions on the state
of play. Food is uncomplicated
and delicious, but let’s be hon-
est, with a fully stocked fridge
of Grolsch, you’re not really
there to eat are you?

  BVSC is a salute to the epony-
  mous Havana members club,
  which brought together some
  now legendary musicians. Its
  shabby-chic decor and delec-
  table choice of tapas is authen-
  tically Cuban, and there’s no
  shortage of chicas ready to par-
  ty to sultry Latin rhythms on
  Sunday Salsa nights. If you’re
  looking for a more relaxed vibe,
  we’d recommend sipping on a
  chilled Grolsch in front of a live
  Cuban jazz band on Wednes-
  day nights.

sevruga


Described by the New York
Times as “the only reason to
visit the V&A Waterfont”, you’ll
be hard pressed to fi nd a more
superior place to indulge in
some super sexy sushi or even
a serving of Sevruga’s famous
namesake. A terrace table is a
highly sought-after commod-
ity on a summer’s day, where a
well-timed wave might just get
you an invite aboard a passing
luxury yacht, especially if they
see you sipping from a Swing-
top… Cheersch!

the waiting room


Saturday nights in Cape Town
haven’t been the same since
this retro bar-come-club start-
ed “Warm Up Night” – a disco
and house spectacular that has
the dance floor packed week af-
ter week. The even more popu-
lar hip-hop “Cool Out Lounge”
is hosted on the fi rst Wednes-
day of the month, and also sees
the venue rocking en masse.
When you need a breather, take
a break from the crowds on the
(still lively) balcony overlook-
ing upper Long Street or enjoy
360 ° views of the city’s night-
life from the rooftop terrace.

After long days of networking
and deal making, take a time
out and immerse yourself in the
serene yet vogue atmosphere of
Katima. Situated on Kronendal
Estate in the lush green sub-
urb of Hout Bay, a team of tal-
ented Thai chefs create their
interpretations of classic Asian
and Fusion favourites in a daz-
zling Cape Dutch homestead.
If you’re looking for an uncon-
ventional and intimate dinner
for two, Katima will not disap-
point.

With 3 restaurants, a rooftop
garden and the massive “Funk-
tion” nightclub, no two nights
at Trinity are ever the same.
The real place to be, however,
is the super-club’s opulent and
members-only Salon Privé,
where ice-cold Grolsch is never
in short supply. Full waiter
service ensures that you don’t
waste time in those tiresome
bar queues – you’ve got better
things to do. We reckon more
business deals are sealed here
than in corporate offices across
the city.

provide sustenance while you

crowd, and don’t be surprised
to share some bar space with
a gorgeous swimsuit model or
two. Soaking up the soothing
beats served up on “Soul’d Out
