Additional Information
Cape Town, renowned for its quirky subculture, has a great deal more to offer, as we locals can testify. Complement us as we dedicate an evening to the exhibition of Cape Town’s most concealed charms, secret cocktail lounges and lively hangouts cherished by the residents. Socialize with locals and other explorers as we devote the night to understanding the taste indicators and sampling the exquisite cuisines at Cape Town’s finest cocktail lounges.
Key features include: tasty cocktail samplings, an inventive cocktail bar (providing visually appealing, ‘Instagrammable’ beverages), a rooftop cocktail lounge missed by many visitors, a bar with bohemian/steampunk aesthetic, a hidden speakeasy styled after the prohibition era so clandestine, it needs a passphrase to enter, which features live jazz during the weekends, and a fashionable local bar/club with rhythmic beats amongst others.
Accompany us for a night that might be hard to recollect but utterly unforgettable!

Delicious cocktails - We had a wonderful time on the cocktail mixology bar crawl. Khanya was so knowledgable, helpful and versatile, changing the order of the itinerary throughout the evening to suit our needs. If you want a good night with delicious cocktails then this is the activity for you!

Amazing Tour with Amazing Guide!! - I went on this tour with Andile. He was absolutely one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We spoke about not just the history of the bars and neighborhoods that we walked through, but he talked about his experiences in the country and truly gave us a rich experience. He’s extremely funny and an amazing conversationalist.
I 100% recommend going on this tour, and knowing they go to different bars every time, I’m making sure to go on this tour again with Andile again the next time I go!
100/10 STARS

Great way to enjoy the night - Great way to explore Cape Town night life on my first night there. Met some of the funniest people in the group! Of course, the first bar is always just the warm-up
My fav is definitely the last one (not because we were drunk or high), but it is really a super chic and enjoyable bar to be
Highly recommended, and i will booked them again if i'm back in Cape Town

Great for Shy People - This was definitely an awesome experience and great for introverts who may be shy to go out on the town alone. The drinks were all interesting and had history behind them and Andile made the experience funny and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.

The best night life experience! - Wow what a night. My husband surprised me with this fun experience. We are from South Africa, funny enough I'm from Cape Town suburb area, but I've never really gone out to Cape Town city for a night. This was a good and safe way to experience so many fun and interesting places with the most unique type of cocktails. We made friends with the other 2 international guys in our group and we all had a blast. Andile was our host and made our night so much more fun. The different bars we went to were really interesting and very unique. My favorite one was the last one where you needed a password. I highly recommend this experience! We felt safe and were treated like VIP,S

Cape Town Night Life - I must say I did a lot of fun activities in Cape Town but this was certainly my highlight in terms of night life experience. Carol, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, well spoken and fun to chat with. I was traveling alone and wanted to experience Cape Town night life - we did at least four cocktail bars and later on we did a club, the experience was so surreal, the cocktails were so good. I’d 100 recommend this activity if you wish to have a taste of Cape Town nightlife guarded by a local

Ask for Jason for lots of laughs and cool music! - Jason was super knowledgeable and fun to chat with. We booked this our first night in Cape Town and it was fast paced enough to keep us awake but slow enough for us to indulge in every single cocktail and spot. The transportation around the bars was really fun and cool. Jason did a great job of talking to everyone and making sure our Cape Town bar experience was top knotch. 10/10 recommend!

We had a wonderful time with Local Knowledge - We had such a wonderful time with Local Knowledge. We were not sure where to go and were worried about exploring Cape Town in the evenings because of safety. This tour solved our problems. The guide was fun, engaging and truly cared about the group. The experience was well-organised. And the locations were exceptional (I never would have known about any of them without the help of Local Knowledge.) Thanks again guys! It was a tuly unique experience

Fun night out - This was a fun tour, hopping around the city going to various cocktail bars for interesting drinks in unique settings. We went to three bars plus had a meal as well. The drinks were good and the bars were cool. But, we did think we were going to more places. The description mentioned more. Perhaps with covid, it just hasn't been updated? There was definitely time to spare and our guide was trying to stall us at times. We also weren't a large group, especially for a Sat night. But it is fall/winter and still technically a pandemic.
