Whether it’s the middle of the week or a festive weekend night out, an evening of food and drink can often leave you longing for a a bit of action on the dance floor. However, paying steep nightclub entry fees is not always an option, especially if you’re a student.
We’ve put together a list of three great venues where you can go and boogie for free.
First up, is The Moveable Feast! Situated on Kloof Nek road, this eclectic middle city bistro fuses laid back nonchalance with vintage luxury.
Moveable wants to make its guests feel at home.
Visit them during the week to catch their unbelievable food and drinks specials and come back on the weekend for a boogie as the DJ takes up the booth.
The music and vibe here is always great and attracts a diverse crowd. Generally speaking, the DJ’s present a brand of electronic disco bangers and groovy house music and Moveables beautiful wrap around balcony is perfect for any kind of weather.
Its an ideal spot to visit with a group of mates for a festive dinner before dancing off the calories inside the establishment’s impeccably decorated bar and dance-floor area.
Hanks Old Irish bar is another groovy treasure situated on Cape Town’s Bree Street. While the bar often hosts live music events that will charge a cover fee, there are many an evening where the entrance and music is free.
The stone walls and dim lighting of this quirky bar give off a truly Irish ambiance, and on a colder evening when the outdoors are not an option, there’s not many other spots you’d want to let your hair down.
The dance floor is in a narrow corridor, so be ready for an intimate evening of great drinks and even better beats.
Finally, is The Village Idiot on Loop Street, a vintage neighbourhood bar and restaurant. This establishment welcomes renegades, adventurous idiots and anyone who refuses to live by the rules of conformity.
Village has a massive indoor area and a wrap-around balcony with unparalleled views of the concrete jungle below. The dance-floor inside by the bar is also very spacious and perfect for a squad boogie. Village is home to a variety of in house DJ’s and hosts many weekly events.
The Soul Shaker Wednesdays is the perfect event for anyone looking for a mid-week deep house rave. Please note The Village Idiot is strictly for those aged 21 years and older.
