Who doesn’t love unwinding with a drink at the end of a grueling work day? With Cape Town’s wide selection of trendy bars and lounges, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Here are five places to get your drink on in a pocket-friendly manner:
Burger & Lobster
Take your pick of any cocktail on the Burger & Lobster menu between 4 pm and 7 pm each day, because they are all on a two-for-one drink special! The cocktails at this lobster joint were specially created in collaboration with Brent Perremore, who was voted Cape Town’s Top Barman in 2016, and also one of South Africa’s Top Six Barmen 2016.
We recommend that you try the Exotic Marigold – Hendricks Gin dry shaken with grapefruit syrup, smoked chamomile cellulose, grapefruit juice and fresh lime, ice and tonic water – for a taste experience you won’t regret.
