A must for summer cocktails in Cape Town

Nothing beats an afternoon cocktail in Cape Town! We’ve put together our definitive list of the top five afternoon tipple locations.

The Planet Bar at Mount Nelson Hotel. This old faithful is still as sensational as ever. The Planet Bar is living proof that a Grande Dame can be sexy. This summer we suggest you try their Planet Passion cocktail.

Tobago’s Bar and Terrace at The Radisson. All we have to say about this spot is location, location, location. The sea views, and the fact that you’re close enough to feel a light sea spray, make this one of Cape Town’s hottest afternoon drink spots. They also make the best Mojito in Cape Town.

Wafu. Here the great atmosphere and a sensational view of Robben Island add to the cool factor. Plus it’s the home of the Passionate Warfu … life doesn’t get better than that!

The Twankey at The Taj Cape Town. This is Cape Town’s premier Champagne and Seafood Bar and it has decidedly old-world feel and charm. It’s chic, it’s cool and it also does a Guinness and Oyster pairing to-die-for.
