This was a surprisingly difficult list to put together. There are simply so many places to go to in Cape Town we (TheScud and I) haven’t yet visited them all. We don’t think we’ll be able to get to them all. But of all the places we’ve visited, we think this list is a pretty comprehensive list. It is a list of clubs that you are almost guaranteed to meet some of the hottest and most interesting women in Cape Town this summer.
The most important criteria for a great venue for meeting hotties is, that’s right you guessed it, lots of hot chicks. But there are also other factors that contribute to this, approachability of the ladies and atmosphere of the venue. We have also added our most successful pickup line for that particular venue. Use it lose it. Your choice.
Karma
Karma is a beach lounge bar, situated in Cape Town’s favourite playground, Camps Bay. Karma is lounging and partying at its finest. Stylish and upmarket, Karma Lounge invites you to come straight off the beach and enjoy cocktails, sushi, prawns and Champagne on large comfortable sofas; overlooking Camps Bay’s picturesque beachfront. This is the perfect venue to meet those beach loving cocktail swigging fun loving hotties. Your game better be tight here.

Jade
Not quite a club, not quite a bar Jade (in Green Point) hosts Cape Town’s hottest Thursday night party; and best of all it is always packed wall to wall with the finest hunnies in town, with a fine smattering of overseas talent to boot. It’s by no means an all-night affair (well it will be if things go well…) so get there early, but not too early. If you are a regular, like me and some of my crew then you’ll have a gold card which means you get to skip the cue. Dress stylish, but don’t look like you’re trying.

Mersey Bar
This is a little known gem in the CBD. An excellent after-party / pre-party joint or as my American friends like to say…Pre Game. This is quite a new place in the CBD, great service, and excellent décor. One of my favourite things about it is that it has 2 levels. Downstairs is where you enter, meet and mingle. You can then go upstairs and lounge around one of the large couches if you want a little one on one time.

Neighborhood
This spot is one of my favourite ever joints in Cape Town.
Neighbourhood is a restaurant / pub / cocktail bar. It’s rather large with a long balcony overlooking long street. Different sitting areas, booths, couches, chairs and benches etc.
On any given night you can find a myriad of different kinds of people. Unlike most other venues in the Cape Town neighbourhood I found attracts the widest range of girls. You get your artists types, students, 30 something’s, 20 somethings, business types to slackers. I quite like this spot because will get to meet some of the most attractive girls from the widest range of the social spectrum.
Its normally a stop off to a bigger party, but most times its so cool over there people end up abandoning their plans to move on. Super friendly girls, hell super friendly people in general and very approachable.

Deco Dance
Situated in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock this place is a real time-warp, straight back into the ’80s. It is intentionally set-up to look like a nite club out of the Miami Vice era – carpeted walls and too many mirrors. The tunes too are a complete hark back; Wham, The Pixies, Violet Femmes, Bowie, you name it, the DJ plays it and he doesn’t even bother mixing. And there are NO drinks allowed on the dance floor. Expect a slightly older woman to be the norm here (cougar anyone?).

Asoka Son of Dharma
Asoka Son of Dharma offers you a sophisticated lounge, bar. The contemporary interior offers you comfort and a warm, social atmosphere. A landmark of this positively unique lounge is the olive tree that is situated in the heart of the venue, opening up to Cape Town sky.
The kind of girls you get to meet here all depends on what time of night you arrive. If you get there early you will meet what I like to call the “Pink Cocktail Clubbers”. These are girls that love to meet each other after work on a Friday afternoon to have cocktails and catch up. These are a tricky bunch. If you are lucky you will meet a group of single ones. They normally travel in groups of 3 or more. Your game better be 100%. They have had a long day; they are meeting with friends so an interruption from you might not be welcome. But if you are able to manage that, you are IN.
Later in the evening the Pink Cocktail Clubbers turn into to girls that just want to have fun. The resident DJ always plays the best in deep house music. Be prepared to loosen up and jam a little. It’s a rather smart joint with a very discerning door policy so …avoid that T-shirt. The girls are usually dressed to kill, I recommend you do too.

Caprice
Cafe Caprice on Camps Bay boulevard is an institution, and well known across SA as one of the best bars to meet Cape Town’s young and beautiful creatures. You’re also likely to see some of sports stars knocking back a few tequilas there. Though it’s a tough nut to crack if you’re not one of the trust fund kids. Summer Sundays are the best time to frequent this beach bar. Some crazy shyte goes down in that place, like being offered to feel-up some some models newly acquired decolletage, or witnessing two guys AND a girl walk out of the cubicle in the mens’ room… Hmmmm…

Julep
Julep is a bar/lounge that is following a European trend of foregoing big, brassy signage. Situated in an alley just off Long Street in Town, Julep is so named because of their signature drink – the mint julep. Past the bins (which can become quite pongy) there is an unassuming door with a small sign that reads simply, Julep.
Because of its position on Long Street its normally visited by residents of the nearby backpackers. Lots of Scandinavian tourist girls if that’s your fancy.
It’s quite popular and is normally quite packed. If you don’t get there early to score seating you might have a problem. This does however offer an excuse for you to get up close and personal.

Chevelle
It’s certainly one of the hot spots of Cape Town. This is a spot that Cape Town’s most beautiful people love to hang out. I remember walking into that place for the first time and being completely stunned and what I saw. It looked like I had just walked into a scene on an Fashion TV show. It’s easy to generalise about the girls that rock Caprice. I’ve heard things like Stuck Up, Plastic and even Dumb. If you hear things like this, consider the source. It’s usually just jealous girls or rejected dudes. The girls at Chevelle are no more stuck up than girls from any other venue. Try not judging a book by its cover here, you will be surprised.

Oblivion
Nestled in the Southern suburbs this restaurant/wine bar is a real little gem, if you like your conservative (usually English) girls with a “dirty” side. And it makes a pretty decent pizza, too, available late into the night and into the early morn. This place is frequented by girls that do not want to make the trip into town and a convenient side-effect of being “close to home” is that the levels of inebriation are usually quite high, this is a four+ glasses of wine type of place. The drunker they get, the more likely you are to see them on The Pole, which is in the middle of the dance floor. Brush up on your Counting Crows lyrics and grab a hunny late into the evening while belting out MIIISSSSSTTTTEERRR JONES AND ME….

I’ve always wanted to go to Cape Town. Now more than ever!
i think i could LIVE in Club Julep or Chevelle. The stuff dreams are made of… hmmmm…
Funny that you chose Chevelle and Julep. they are very different from each other, different crowds regular those joints..
Great post dude… Good thing I’ve been going to the right places, and it seems I’ve missed some.
I want to show you the rest of these places. some places that are not on this list you have been to…but there is a different side that I think you might like
Thanks! Any in the Tyger Valley area? Obviously Edward Str, but hey, which ones have the best opportunites?
And also, what if you’re not into the type of women who prowl the pubs and cover the clubs? What if you’re more inclined to a woman who has an appeal that is not the desire of most horny guys? Hot, sure, but not the dress-up-to-get-loads-of-guys-looking type?
If you meet them at the pub, you lose them at the pub.
hey brian, thanks for reading bro.
i havent explored very much of tyger valley area…been to Ed. Street once or twice. not enough to get a complete Idea.
great question though? before I answer let me just say that, it is not a great idea to have preconceived ideas about people in social situations. after several years of doing this Ive come to realise that yes…you do get the “dress-up-to-get-loads-of-guys-looking” but at the same time you do get “decent” women that just want to get out ..have fun with friends and meet new friends. Its normal.
you just need to be aware where these judgments are coming from. in my experience they are normally not from an informed area.
to answer your question. women are everywhere, Pick n Pay, bus stop, coffee shops, the street, the internet cafe…the internet.
“meet them at the pub loose them at the pub?”..well a more realistic scenario is
“meet her anywhere..you can still loose here anywhere..if you fuck up….its not the pubs fault.”
hey Brian,
I’ve been to Edward Street several times, and can safely say that it’s not a patch on the nightlife in & around Cape Town’s CBD.
Although you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to venues there, you’re better off having “pre game” drinks at Cubana, then heading over to Ku De Ta.
Ku De Ta would be a nice place, that’s if the DJ (who play’s a mix of Electro, Fidget and Pop) didn’t play the music so loud – the entire club reverberates from the noise – not good for game!
But, the girls are pretty and stylish…just brush up on your Afrikaans in case you’re English like me
As for the other clubs along the street, none of them are worth remembering:
1. Buckleys (filled with 17 year old Emo chicks, should I go on?)
2. JetLag (A person got SHOT outside, and a group of chicks got mugged INSIDE – this place is a no no)
2. Vacca Mata (incredibly full, no place to sit)
3. Bunker9 (Been there a few times and haven’t seen many pretty girls frequenting that place…mmmmmm)
4. Vegas (all night rave-a-thon)
5. Stones (same old Stones – I find the number of guys there greatly outnumber the number of girls)
6. Hype (very packed, loud Hip Hop/R&B blasting from the speakers – if you go here to practice game, make sure you can dance!)
There is a decent sushi joint called Maz Sushi at the end of Edward Street. Affordable, decent sushi which makes it a good venue for a date.
J
Awesome post indeed. I met my man at Deco, and have had had some good nights (and scored nicely) at many of these gems in my wilder single days.
P.S. You forgot Fiction.
hahah true.
Fiction is too loud and dark difficult to meet girls there.
i have never met a hot chick there….
I prefer to take hot chicks there.
Hmm, I’ve met a few guys there before. But ja, good point. Waiting Room also another so-so venue.
Oh, what about Dubliner?
Dubliner is an odd one.
its loud crowded..its tough to actually meet someone in a solidgame way ( sans luck )
I chose the places above cause you could actually sit down and meet the girl.
i will say this..the process is a little different for girls.
for hot chicks such as yourself…its more of a question of “I’ll let him meet me”
in my experience girls rarely make the approach…they put out the signals..and hopefully the dude “catches on”.
again, that is a generalization.
That’s very true.
Good list dude – Deco especially I can attest to being a good spot for this end, hehe. And many of these double up as good first date or ‘first meeting’ after hook up venues.
hhmm seems I have been hanging out in all the wrong places tsk tsk that’s all about to change now he he thanx dude!
hot chicks can hang wherever they want..its up to the dudes to find them
hey thanx for this website.myself & my wing always hang out in loud clubs & have never been to this ten clubs yet.looking forward to meet all the pua’s in the clubs.
Thanx agen

Hey guys,
my two cents worth
I stay on the Tableview side and find the places a bit dodge, you can have a fantastic time up this side, but choose the destination wisely as there seems to be much boxing done! (I myself see no point in drinking Karate Water (Brandy) and trying to impress everyone that your the biggest meanest person in CPT. Esp. when it comes to rocking up at work on the Monday with a nice shiner.
Places worth mentioning though…
1) Sunday Sundowners – Blue Peter – Fantastic vibe, very chilled atmosphere and friendly people. Rather clicky to try and join groups but get there with several mates, grab a bench (if your lucky and get there early) or sit on the grass embankment with all the other groups with beer in hand. P.S. Bring a camera as the sunsets are STUNNING!!!! Loads of good looking women but also a rather clicky enviroment, trick is to break into a group with someone, and be the person that he/she just has to intro you to the rest of the group!
2) Eden on the bay – I have been there once so far and found it so refreshing I plan to make it a weekly to biweekly stop with some mates.
There are several pubs and lounges along the way all of which look fantastic. Service left a bit to be desired but it was the day before Xmas, so I will check back on that. There is one place that has a 20 seater jucuzi/pool that you just jump into and sit in the sun chatting away. Loads of women! but also hard to break into.
3) Doodles – Nice venue, been in CPT for donkeys years and has AWESOME food. If you want an intimate place this is not it, very load with people talking away but good to get a couple of roudy mates together and have a few beers after work and watch the sunset. Women wise plenty, but they are generally involved with closed groups so best time would be “run into them on the way to the bathroom” or in the bar area.
4) Monty’s – Dodgy as all hell! Avoid like the plauge – Food is good but when some random guy gets up and walks over and starts trying to throw punches with no warning or reason it’s not the type of place you really want to be seen.
5) The Local – Yes it is called the Local! I have loads of fun here, chicks are nice a bit younger than norbal but legal
, but during the day it’s a bit of a old mans joint. Later at night they generally are always organizing themed events which people go all out for. E.g. they had a Wet-T-Shirt Compo a couple weeks ago, chicks went ape, R1k bar tab + R1k cash for the winner and decent cash and tab prizes for 2nd and 3rd. Good vibe etc but it closes at 2am.
Will add more on later on
Hey,
You guy’s are forgetting a sweet little club called Tiger Tiger in claremont… It’s a total honey fest in there. the best time is student night’s on Thursday’s.
lol, when I hit student nights these days I feel like I should have a pocket full of candy and walk around asking “So whats your name little girl”.
No seriously now, I’m 28 turning 29, the whole student vibe no longer interests me… I prefer women that have more to talk about than just where they bought their new pair of shoes and how wasted they got the previous night.
Maybe it’s just me?
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Moving on…
I went to La Med on Sunday for the first time in ages. Well, except for getting to the parking area last week and being told to sit outside in the cold sea wind until late…
Anyway, got in, and it’s unlikely I’ll be back. Apart from the 25-40minute queue to get a beer, the filthy toilet floors, and the highly dubious safety situation, it’s not a place to meet women.
Firstly, the guys outnumber the women about 2-1. They’re generally reasonably good looking, so it’s great if you’re gay…
Secondly, the women are ALWAYS with their guy. Unless you’re mates with her guy, and they’re “just friends”, you have no chance!
Thirdly, and this is more of a personal choice, the women there are really not that attractive. Nothing down-to-earth, simple, friendly.
I left early, couldn’t bear the thought of another painful wait for a beer while the bar staff serve the ladies next to me while their men wait within reach.
Like the band 5ive said a while back, “keep on moving”!
New spot I went to last night… It is called Paddlers on the bend… Very interesting, R18 a draughed but what do you expect for Constantia.
Loads of hunnies everywhere, you can spot the single ones a mile away and approaches are very very easy, I just smiled at the one chick and as I walked past to go to the bar she called me over and we had a chat.
Large outside area with umbrella’s, wide selection of alcohol and has a great menu.
I personally will be making that drive again very shorly.
Thanks Mutt!
What’s the dress code there? S#!t, it’s a distance from Tyger Valley, but hey, sounds worth the drive!
Good times and days to go?
No probs
I love finding new places.
Ok first question: Dress code… It seems fairly informal, Smart casual… It is Constantia
loads of people with serious money but I dont think that the chicks mind to much as long as you look and dress the part, I would think boardshorts and slops will cut it there 
It’s quite a drive but I think rather worth it. Check it out with a couple mates…
Good times and days I’m not sure of as yet because last night was the first time for me, but for a Monday night the place was quite packed, no tables open when I got there at 8pm, so I would say get there a bit earlier or wait at the bar.
Staff are helpful and friendly, had to move two tables together as our group got bigger and the one staff member jumped in to help his co-worker, I’m rather impressed with the place… (I’m a service nut)
Have a look and let us know what your thoughts are
