Practical information : Take a break South Africa
Timetable
From morning coffee in the coffee shops that usually open between 7:30 and 8:30 am, to the small beer before lunch, to the evening aperitif that, for the more discerning, will translate into a cocktail facing the sea, the savannah or on a rooftop in Maboneng, to the local amarula after dinner, there is always a time to have a drink in South Africa, sometimes even until very late at night in the bars of Long Street in Cape Town. The bars close between midnight and 3am. In the townships, the shebeens are king. These small "underground bars" only close when the last customer has left.
Age restrictions
The law has recently changed, and the sale of alcohol to people under 21 is now prohibited.
What's very local
In Cape Town, Long Street and Kloof Street are the places to go for a few drinks to immerse yourself in Cape Town's nightlife. If the student atmosphere appeals to you, Cape Town's Observatory district is the place to be. Hipster locals can also opt for Woodstock in Cape Town, or Maboneng in Johannesburg. Throughout the country, pubs are still an institution, as is the very local shebeen in the townships.
