The Blue Peter lies all of 20 minutes from the Waterfront in Cape Town, following the coast road out west. Is sits at the foot of a tranquil little town, and has a beer garden that looks west, straight over Robben Island.

I cannot claim that there was anything spectacular about the bar in terms of drinks, music or food. But the location and the general laid back atmosphere made it my favourite hanging-out-of-an-evening watering hole!

They tell me thatm in season, it's a great whale-watching place... I'd loved to have seen a whale, but one evening gave me a sunset, the likes of which I've never experienced, and I doubt I'll ever experience again!

Dress Code: Come as you are!... it is Cape Town after all!

This is were Cape Town's night life starts, but the street is also of interest during the day. What ever you are into, this is the street for you, promising a stroll past antiquity shops, book and curioshops, galleries, music, photo and travel shops, backpacker hotels, clubs and discos. Also many pubs, nice cafés and cosy restaurants with African, Indian and international food are awaiting your visit.

I live in Cape Town and know it well. It's a fickle place - what's good today will often be closed in three months.

Nox Tours is a tour operator, specialising in night tours - be it nightclubs, theatre, fine dining or townships.

It's a brilliant service. No drunken driving, no waiting in queues. The right venues on the right nights. VIP service.

I can really reccommend it to everyone visiting our brilliant city - use them. You'll see the best of the Cape Town nightlife - whatever part of it you wish to see.

When in Cape Twon , speak to any Capetonian above 60 years young, ( especially) those in the Malay quarters above Buitengracht street or the stall owners at the Parade.

"...... But when District Six was razed it was done so by official decree to make room for those who already had too much. Today, decades later, it has still not been built up.
,,,,,to the desolate sandy wastes of Manenburg and Heideveld, and a wind-swept area which with almost malicious sarcasm has been named Hanover Park. No White authority had ever bothered to ask me whether they could take my past away. ..........." - Richard Rive. 1981. Writing Black (Cape Town, David Philip), 4-5

Dress Code: The Navigators Den I visited in the early 60s, was the remants of the well known area of diversity and contrasts; after most of the people had been unceremoniously RELOCATED under the Groups Areas Act.

Yet many of the foreign sailors who frequented this heady nightspot, unconscious of the Population Registration, Separate Amenities, Immorality and Group Areas Acts,;
are probably not aware of the seeds they left behind, some of whom must have in the decade after been involved in the removal of those draconian legislation, now remembered with muchdistaste, the APARTHEID LAWS.

Percies is the oldest pub in Cape Town dating back to 1808, when travellers would disembark the ships and stay at the Perserverance Tavern. Percies is a pub in the true sense of the word where you would go for a beer and fish & Chips at incredibly reasonable prices.
