Tuesday nights are meant for re-clining under the ancient olive tree in Asoka’s courtyard, and listening 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 mingle with Cape Town’s crème de la créme. Soaking up the soothing beats served up on “Soul’d Out Sun-days” is also a sublime option to end off a busy weekend.

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 Grolsch is never in short supply. Full waiter service en-sures that you don’t waste time in those tiresome bar queues – you’ve got better things to do. Trinity is one venue that really does have it all.

After long days of networking and deal making, take a time out and immerse yourself in the serene yet vogue atmosphere of Kitima. Situated on Kronen-dal Estate in the lush green suburb of Hout Bay, a team of talented Thai chefs create their interpretations of classic Asian and Fusion favourites in a daz-zling Cape Dutch homestead. If you’re looking for an unconven-tional and intimate dinner for two, Kitima will not disappoint.

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 floor packed week af-ter week. The even more popu-lar hip-hop “Cool Out Lounge” is hosted on the first 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.

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

BVSC is a salute to the esteemed Havana members club, which brought together some now legendary musicians. Its shab-by-chic decor and delectable choice of tapas is authentically Cuban, and there’s no shortage of sultry Latin rhythms to get your hips swinging on Sunday Salsa nights. If you’re more in the mood for unwinding, you’ll love the lyrical lull of a live Cu-ban jazz band on Wednesday nights.

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, it’s the only thing on the menu! And we know just the beer to complement the perfect steak – what else but a finely 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, you’re sure to spot a celeb or two enjoying the Cape Town sun under an over-sized umbrella. With stunning views of Camps Bay beach, Ca-price’s unapologetic exclusiv-ity makes it THE place to get a table. Food is uncomplicated and delicious, but let’s be hon-est, with Grolsch on tap, you’re not really there to eat, are you?

You’d be forgiven for mistaking Neighbourhood for someone’s dining room, complete with wooden floors and booklined shelves. It feels like a home away from home. Watch the eclectic Long Street crowds go by from the balcony, languish in an armchair over a game of chess or engage in some friend-ly banter with newly made friends over a Grolsch Swing-top. 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.
