Every city with a gay community offers its own unique blend of gay places to visit. Cape Town has the gay triangle in De Waterkant, which is today one of the trendiest places to live and play in South Africa!

Here you can find a multitude of gay and gay-friendly restaurants, coffee shops, bars, clubs and theatre. The oldest establishments are surely Café Manhattan - a relaxed bar and restaurant with the best Skyscaper burgers in town, and Bronx - a world famous action bar. In addition gay Cape Town offers a leather bar, Bar Code and a theatre, On Broadway, with regular performances by drag duo, Mince and ad-hoc shows featuring tributes to groups like the Village People.

If lounging in coffee shops is your thing, be sure to visit Dutch in Napier St and Andiamo in the new Cape Quarter Centre. Also be sure to be on the look-out for regular events and dance parties such as Pride, the Mother City Queer Project, Relish and Coco Latté.
