Capetonians are spoilt for choice when it comes to summer escapes, picturesque views and luscious beaches. We are also spoiled for choice not only when it comes to dining out or lazy lunches but also enjoying a good cocktail, craft beer, gin tasting or wine up.
Question is, how do you choose that bar? Based on whether they have your favourite cocktail, a great menu, is dessert a non- negotiable or should it boast Instagram worthy spots for selfies.
Here’s a round-up of a few of the best bars with decks to lounge about with your nearest and dearest this summer!

With their newly launched menu, patrons can expect a varied menu boasting delicious local flavours. Nestled away from the buzzing CBD and in the leafy Southern Suburbs – a great escape from the traffic with external seating and upper deck with shaded umbrellas to escape the summer sun!
