Cocktails, sultry Cuban and elegance in Green Point and Mouille Point

Walk along the promenade singing 'Staying Alive' and you'll fit right in

Don't overlook the nightlife in Green Point and Mouille Point. Just because these areas are home to affluent suburbs, it doesn't mean that their nightlife doesn't accommodate all walks of life. Just because these areas may be small, it doesn’t mean they are not visited by thousands of local and international night owls. Why? Because a lighthouse, a promenade, a majestic soccer stadium and the Atlantic ocean is the ideal setting for the kind of cocktail lounges, sultry Cuban eateries and elegant nightclubs that showcase the best of Cape Town's socialites. Definitely worth a look.

We at CapeTownMagazine.com took a stroll along Green Point's Main Road and Mouille Point's promenade, to seek out the nightlife gems that attract the crème of Mother City revellers.

It's time to hit the dance floor for a bit of a wind-down at hot Cape Town club, Casa Blanca. When we say hot, we mean smoking hot.
