Happy Hour Specials in Cape Town

Where to drink on a budget in Cape Town, from elegant date spots to dive bars

 

Last updated: Friday, Thursday, 15 August 2024

Boozy Fridays in Cape Town are as much of a staple as the mountain and icy cold sea. Thankfully, after-work drinks don’t have to break the bank. From old-school rock n roll spots to rooftop bars and elegant eateries, our selection of happy hour specials in Cape Town will have you covered all week long. 

VISIT FOR OLD-SCHOOL ROCK N ROLL   

Cargo, which has recently replaced Bombay Bicycle Club on Kloof Street, is inspired by a masculinity of yesteryear. Decorated with black and white photos and old army memorabilia, you can enjoy discounted beer, wine and tequila while listening to laid-back rock n roll music.

Deal: R20 for a glass of house red, white, rosé, beer or tequila shot
Time: Monday to Thursday, 4pm - 6pm

TAKE A TRIP DOWN SOUTH    

Down South Food Bar in Rondebosch is an ode to the American South: expect to see cowboy hats hanging from the walls, jazz-inspired decor and apple pie cocktails. There’s also TV screens both inside and outside of the bar for live-sport viewing. 

Deal: Shots (R15), Black Label Draught (R32), cocktails (from R40)
Time: Daily, 5pm - 7pm

DIG IN TO BUNNY CHOW AT A DIVE BAR  

This tiny dive bar in District Six has a rebellious punk-rock attitude. SurfaRosa has a rock-inspired menu and you can expect to find pizzas named after Kevin Bacon, Sisters of Mercy and the Ramones. Plus, after a night of drinking and dancing to rock music, you can tuck into a bunny chow.

Deal: Varies
Time: Daily, 3pm - 6pm
