Wine library, live jazz, pizza bagels + more
Last updated: Friday, 10 June 2022
It’s always wine o’clock in Cape Town. You’ll find everything: little known labels, special imports and wines from small producers. Pair wine with pizza bagels or listen to live jazz at these wine bars (because wine not).
Penny Noire sits in the heart of Heritage Square in the revamped Local. Backed by Liam Tomlin and run by wine expert Penny Setti, this gem is a slice of wine heaven. It has a stunning wine display cabinet filled with the best small and independent wines. There are various seating options, from inside, outside, upstairs and the bar itself.
Hours: Monday to Saturday, 8am - 10pm

Bagel shop by day, wine bar by night. Leo’s Wine Bar is squeezed in Max’s Bagels on the vibrant Bree Street. It’s an intimate space that leaks out onto the street terrace, where most of the seating is. Leo’s specialises in wines from smaller producers, with a great selection of natural wines. Plus they serve pizza bagels and bar snacks nightly.
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 5pm - 11pm

Hours: Monday to Saturday, 12pm - 11pm

With top-of-the-range whisky and wine, kamasutra wallpaper and graffiti laden stairs, YOBO Whisky and Wine Bar on Shortmarket Street (next to House of Machines) is definitely a top runner. The Dirty Bubbles are a must-try. There’s even live music on certain nights.
