Neighbourhood is your ‘hood away from home where you can put your feet up and chill. Watch the eclectic Long Street crowds go by from the balcony, languish in an armchair over a game of chess or engage in some friendly banter with new-ly made friends over an ice-cold Grolsch and a game of foosball. Comfortable and laid back, it’s the perfect spot if you’re in the mood for a night “in”.

Long Street’s Grand Daddy Hotel is truly a hedonist’s para-dise – decadent with a touch of cheeky fun. Take your pick of four über-hip bars and loung-es, the best of which is the baroque-bling- themed Daddy Cool’s, which also houses Cape Town’s only digital art and pho-tographic gallery. And don’t dare leave without visiting the hotel’s Airstream Rooftop Trail-er Park and outdoor cinema, where each mobile-home inte-rior has been uniquely decorat-ed by SA’s trendiest designers.

The juxtapositioning of a sleek and modern restaurant inside one of Cape Town’s old-est buildings is pure genius. And the brilliance doesn’t end there – these folks know how to cook a sirloin steak to perfec-tion too. In fact they’re so good at it, that it’s the only thing on the menu! And we know just the beer to complement the perfect steak – what else but a fi nely brewed and superbly balanced Grolsch? Stop by on a Friday evening to mingle with the city’s savvy business set and enjoy DJ Rene’s Nu-Disco and Latin house sounds.

The café of choice for the beau-tiful, fashionable and some-times famous. With stunning views of Camps Bay beach and the tanned shoulders of Nordic models, Caprice’s un-apologetic exclusivity makes it THE place to get a table - par-ticularly around big sporting events, thanks to its big screen TVs and the regular crowd of local sports stars willing to of-fer their opinions on the state of play. Food is uncomplicated and delicious, but let’s be hon-est, with a fully stocked fridge of Grolsch, you’re not really there to eat are you?

BVSC is a salute to the epony-mous Havana members club, which brought together some now legendary musicians. Its shabby-chic decor and delec-table choice of tapas is authen-tically Cuban, and there’s no shortage of chicas ready to par-ty to sultry Latin rhythms on Sunday Salsa nights. If you’re looking for a more relaxed vibe, we’d recommend sipping on a chilled Grolsch in front of a live Cuban jazz band on Wednes-day nights.

Described by the New York Times as “the only reason to visit the V&A Waterfont”, you’ll be hard pressed to fi nd a more superior place to indulge in some super sexy sushi or even a serving of Sevruga’s famous namesake. A terrace table is a highly sought-after commod-ity on a summer’s day, where a well-timed wave might just get you an invite aboard a passing luxury yacht, especially if they see you sipping from a Swing-top… Cheersch!

Saturday nights in Cape Town haven’t been the same since this retro bar-come-club start-ed “Warm Up Night” – a disco and house spectacular that has the dance fl oor packed week af-ter week. The even more popu-lar hip-hop “Cool Out Lounge” is hosted on the fi rst Wednes-day of the month, and also sees the venue rocking en masse. When you need a breather, take a break from the crowds on the (still lively) balcony overlook-ing upper Long Street or enjoy 360 ° views of the city’s night-life from the rooftop terrace.

After long days of networking and deal making, take a time out and immerse yourself in the serene yet vogue atmosphere of Katima. Situated on Kronendal Estate in the lush green sub-urb of Hout Bay, a team of tal-ented Thai chefs create their interpretations of classic Asian and Fusion favourites in a daz-zling Cape Dutch homestead. If you’re looking for an uncon-ventional and intimate dinner for two, Katima will not disap-point.

With 3 restaurants, a rooftop garden and the massive “Funk-tion” nightclub, no two nights at Trinity are ever the same. The real place to be, however, is the super-club’s opulent and members-only Salon Privé, where ice-cold Grolsch is never in short supply. Full waiter service ensures that you don’t waste time in those tiresome bar queues – you’ve got better things to do. We reckon more business deals are sealed here than in corporate offi ces across the city.

Elegance and swank are the design principles at play in this luxurious hotel. Whether you’re visiting for a business meeting or pleasure party, the exquisite view from Tobago’s over the Atlantic Ocean and private marina is sure to add a touch of that cultivated French Riviera feel to any occasion. Their distinctly Mediterranean menu and proximity to the bus-tling V&A Waterfront only adds to the tasteful ambience.

Tuesday nights are meant for reclining under the ancient olive tree in Asoka’s air-condi-tioned courtyard, and listen-ing to the smooth sounds of local jazz band, The Restless Natives. Expertly crafted and presented Asian Fusion tapas provide sustenance while you work the hip-and-happening crowd, and don’t be surprised to share some bar space with a gorgeous swimsuit model or two. Soaking up the soothing beats served up on “Soul’d Out Sundays” is also a solid option to end off a busy weekend.
