There's plenty to do in Cape Town after dark. The city's nightlife is concentrated in a number of areas, so you can explore a different one each night or move from one hub to another. Walking, however, isn't always advisable, as some parts of the city are completely deserted and unsafe. Women who are not street savvy should not walk alone or in pairs at night.
This is perhaps the best place in Cape Town to acquaint yourself with lesser-known, boutique, and very special vintages that are made by independent and small-scale producers. A blackboard lists what's currently available by the glass, and the focus is on wines made by organic farmers who are not only sustainability-minded, but also typically obsess over natural production techniques to better showcase the specific terroir of the grapes they grow.
