DRANKS

After a delicious dinner the next logical step (if you haven't already had a bottle of wine to yourself) is to go for a drink.

Asoka
(Kloof)
The nicest place in town to go for a cocktail. Watching the bartenders here is like watching art in motion. Come for live music on Tuesdays. Also try the Chocolate Cake shot! Yum!

Mr. Pickwicks
(City Center - Long Street)
The opposite end of the spectrum in classiness, but a staple of long street. A good place to meet locals and internationals alike! Go for the drinks -- don't bother ever trying their chai.

Dubliner
(City Center - Long Street)
Loud & rowdy, even more pub-like than pickwicks. Lots of standing space.

Purple Turtle
(City Center - Long Street)
Smokey, this list just goes from classy to .. not.

Finger's Sports Bar
(Green Point)
If a normal evening here is like an evening during the World Cup Final be prepared to get deeply intoxicated off of free drinks!

Studio 2010
(Muille's Point)
Near the Waterfront. At times classy, at times relaxed. Changes depending upon the event. Drinks are nice but pricey.

Terra
(Waterfront)
A World Cup staple! Free snacks (biltong, wasabi peas, olives, cornnuts, chips, trail mix, etc), Free drinks (soda, water, beer, tea - super nice tea I might add, and coffee), and 6 screens (one to play FIFA on nintendo). A true trifecta.

Neighborhood
(City Center - Long Street)
Close to Royal Eatery. A nice atmosphere where you can find a mix between cultures - South African and foreign. From Thursdays to Saturdays expect different DJs who you can jam out to. Nice local drinks.

Cubana
(Cape Quarter)
A place where you don't want to go... high probability that someone will steal your stuff.

Cape to Cuba
(City Center - Long Street)
Best mojitos when made by the right bartender! Gingerbread cocktail was delicious! Give their inventions a try! Also try going on a night when their semi-hidden dance floor is rockin out with people who swing the other way.
