    Boston Tea Party: Pretoria Nightlife
  • Tip Rating:
  • This place is quite small, but it has good music. It's next to a bar, wher you can go to have a bite and a few beers. Quite close to the Menlyn Mall, it's worth going.

    Try a shirt and jeans. You'll never get it wrong this way!

    LONG STREET & MORE: CAPETOWN NIGHTLIFE
  • Tip Rating:
  • Long Street is the place to be if you want to party in Capetown. It has different pubs, discos and places to eat something quick. Just walk around and go inside the place you find the best for you.

    No coat required, but capetonians do like to dress to go out. A shirt and jeans it's ok. Don't even think of going out with shorts and tank tops. Either you won't meet anyone or you won't be able to go inside the pubs.

    Keg & Galleon: Casual Drinks on the patio
  • Tip Rating:
  • I think the Keg is really kind of a franchise of sorts, but they do offer some great beers including Castle Milk Stout which was my favorite dark beer I found in Africa. Since this tip is relating to nightlife, it was a nice place to go sit on the patio in Margate and watch people up and down the streets. It was also quite a surprise to hear hords of people singing Take me Home West Virginia by John Denver karaoke style across the street. :) They also did a rendition of Achy Breaky Heart. Really the last thing one expects to hear while sitting on the East Coast of South Africa.

    ..."The Keg is South Africa's most popular English Pub and Restaurant group. With over 40 Kegs countrywide and steadily growing, there is definitely a Keg near you. Offering something for everyone, the Keg is warm and friendly and serves up great food."

    Cape Town docks: The docks
  • Tip Rating:
  • I hear the Cape Town docks have had a new lease of life, not for shipping but for tourists, my dad used to work there when it was dirty and full of workers.

    They have bars and restaurants there and seems to be one of the good tourist places to go now.

    Hav'nt heard of any, but best to go smart, casual.

    Courtyard at Cat & Moose: Making New Friends
  • Tip Rating:
  • Long Street has lots of interesting bars and restaurants. The most popular bar is called Jo'burg ( beer R9.00) with very eclectic music and dance floor. We also loved the famous Lola's Cafe with great African curry dish and stoned waiters ( always high when serving customers!).
    However, we spent most of our evenings at our hostel chatting with our new friends, especially the "Swaaziland girls" from various European countries studying in Swaaziland and our new friend from U.K.

    I cannot remember now, but go...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I cannot remember now, but go see Robin Auld somewhere between Muizenburg and Fishhoek. This guy is a very talented musician/song writer. You will see his name on a sign stating, 'Robin Auld'
    If you like music, song writing, and live music Robin Auld is a must. He will capture you with his lyrics.

    Surf trunks a t-shirt and money for some beer and chips (french fries).

    Various Good Spots: A Good Night Out
  • Tip Rating:
  • Johannesburg has always offered the best entertainment and nightlife in South Africa. The city draws top performers from all over the world, and its well-integrated audiences are the most sophisticated around. The best way to find out what's on is to keep your ears open, listening to the local radio stations and keeping your eyes peeled for roadside posters and leaflets. SA Citylife magazine has a good blend of features and listings, but only comes out monthly; the Mail & Guardian newspaper publishes decent weekly listings and articles on the main events, while the daily Star newspaper tracks mainstream cinema and theatre. Tickets for most events can be booked from Computicket (tel 011 445 8000 or 083 915 8000, ) or Ticketweb (tel 083 140 0500, ).

    Well once again I have done a couple night life tips on my various pages of places here in South Africa.

    So choose your place of interest : Johannesburg , Cape Town and Sun City
