Gay bars clubs cape town

Cape Town may be a lot smaller than other cities in South Africa, like Johannesburg, but when it comes to gay clubs and gay bars, Cape Town is a winner! This is especially true if you head to the touristy bars on Long Street. That being said, when it comes to gay clubs and gay bars in Cape Town, you will be pleased to know that there is a good selection of options!

Take a look at our up to date list below and let us know where you end up! If you are looking for the gay area in Cape Town, the majority of gay gay scene is focused around the De Waterkant area. It has a little bit of a cowboy theme and a chilled atmosphere during the week.

Whether you are there for food, drinks or just to hang out this place attracts both tourists and locals. This is a good place to start your evening before moving on to a late night venue. We came here after hiking Table Mountain and devoured one of their burgers with halloumi and avocado — it was really good! You can also come along for Happy Hour every day between 4pm — 6pm and again from 9pm until 11pm.

This applies to selected drinks, just ask your server. If you want to live it up a little, order some champagne in the lounge to get your night started. Here you have the option of hiring a VIP booth for the evening and enjoying table service! Zero21 is a gay social club found about 15 minutes from Long Street and a little bit away from the tourist area so Ubers are for the best.

Zero21 has a mixed crowd of locals and the odd town. When we visited the music was mainly a lot of old school RnB, which the locals seem to really enjoy. Stargayzer is a local gay bar away from the cape centre. It runs themed events, karaoke nights and DJ nights with their massive dancefloor! When we say gay ish — these bars are not officially gay bars, but we would say that they are more than club gay friendly and so definitely worth checking out:.

This is not a gay bar as such, but it is definitely worth a visit. Beefcakes is the place for burgers, drag shows and wait staff that look like Abercrombie and Fitch models. The drag show is actually quite hilarious and the food reasonable at 79ZAR for a burger. If you are really there for a fun night you can take a body shot from one of the waiters — I have to say we were very tempted.

Gay Cape Town: gay bars, clubs, hotels & awesome things to do

For all of the above reasons, this is very popular now with a lot of hen parties that go here looking for their own beefcakes! Make sure to check availability and book online before you go. Again, not an exclusively gay bar, however this gay owned bar and restaurant in Cape Town proudly underlines its logo with the rainbow flag.

It is not a place to dance, however when they occasionally have events they will move some tables to create a small dancefloor. It was a bonus for us that while we were there for food they played Ariana Grande and Little Mix!
