Zhivago

Cape Town


If you're looking for a late-night party and dance spot in the Southern Suburbs, with a young, up-for-it crowd, Zhivago (the old Tiger Tiger) is the place to head to. Bop to upbeat '90s and noughties pop and house and learn about South Africans' love of Jägermeister shooters. Admission varies and is usually under R100.

No women under 18 or men under 19. Dress code is smart casual; no shorts, tracksuits, flip flops, vests, hoodies or caps.
