Entertainment in Africa

  1. Boardwalk Casino

    Try your luck on the slot machines or sample the dubious cabaret, but not before you’ve stashed your firearm in the special gun cloakroom near the entrance. The casino has two bars. The Navigator Bar is a wannabe-swanky bar with plenty of chinos and high heels, though the requisite slot machines lower the tone. Cocktails are worth a try. The Supersport Bar offers large screen TVs for watching rugby.

    Alcatraz

    Dishes up all the same ingredients as the Sovereign Sports Café– plus pool tables – and neither of them serve food.

    Nu Bar

    This place has a nightclub feel, with a small dance floor beyond the long bar where the DJ pumps out hip hop and house.

    Mystic Boer

    Cool kids hang out here in surroundings that can perhaps best described as post-transformation era retro-Boer chic. Pizzas and steaks are on the menu.

    Fandangos Cocktail Bar

    This slick bar specialises in classic cocktails – try the Springbokkie (peppermint liqueur with Amarula, R15). It draws a more sophisticated crowd of musos and actors. Tapas is available, as well as meals.
