These are the happy hour specials we know about in Cape Town. Most run in the late afternoon, and the When line on each card gives the days and the time of day. We check every special on the venue's own website, and the list updates daily as deals start and end.
Prices and times change without much warning, so check with the venue before you go.

If you want dinner after happy hour, we keep separate lists of food specials for each day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Specials that run all seven days have their own page: every day food specials. On a sunny afternoon, one of the best rooftop bars in Cape Town is a good alternative.

The page updates every day, and we recheck each venue’s website about once a month. Deals that have ended come off the list, and we add new ones as we find them.
Most of the happy hours on this list run in the late afternoon, but times vary from venue to venue. The When line and the Note on each card give the times for that special.
For some specials, yes. Conditions like sit-down only or a minimum group size are in the Note on each card, and cards link to the venue’s booking page when it has one.
We only list specials we can confirm on the venue’s own website. If you know of one we’ve missed, tell us through our contact page.
