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
Be aware that 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 drinks and to immerse yourself in the Cape Town nightlife. If the student atmosphere appeals to you, the Observatory area of Cape Town is a good place to go. Hipster locals can also opt for Woodstock in Cape Town, or Maboneng in Johannesburg. Throughout the country, the pub has remained an institution, as has the very local shebeen in the townships
