The Athletic Club & Social

Another cool spot on the block, The Athletic Club and Social is spread across three floors of pure awesomeness! A firm favourite with locals, and we completely agree with their choice.

Cape Town’s CBD offers plenty of bars and restaurants, but few can match the vibe of The Athletic Club and Social. Spanning three floors, each space is tastefully designed with its own unique look and feel, including a balcony offering stunning views of the iconic Signal Hill. Step inside, and you’re transported to a quirky, old-school speakeasy, complete with vintage sports memorabilia adorning the walls. Cosy seating nooks invite you to relax with a cocktail and a meal. Head downstairs, and you’ll find yourself in the party zone — a dance floor with live DJs spinning tunes into the early hours of the morning.

The menu is as impressive as the setting. The wine list is carefully curated, the top-shelf spirits are plentiful, and the selection of beautifully crafted signature and classic cocktails never fails to excite. The food draws heavy influence from Greek cuisine, offering traditional dishes that are guaranteed to delight your taste buds.

Once the sun sets, The Athletic Club and Social transforms into a buzzing nightlife destination. The energy is electric, the crowd is lively, and the atmosphere feels alive. It’s a meeting place for Cape Town locals looking to either dance the night away or enjoy a laid-back evening with friends in a vintage-inspired setting.

In a city full of contenders for the best bar, The Athletic Club and Social stands out as a top contender, and it’s easy to see why!
