Talking To Strangers

Talking To Strangers is a grungy, down-to-earth cocktail bar located at 61 Loop Street in Cape Town's CBD, celebrated for striking up conversations over world-class drinks and hip-hop beats. The intimate venue features clashing art pieces, graffiti-covered walls adorned with signatures from bartenders worldwide, and moody red lighting that sets a distinctly atmospheric mood. The menu showcases original seasonal cocktails, timeless classics, and shots with creative offerings like "The Midnight Snack" crafted with whiskey, peanut butter, coconut, salt, and cacao. New special cocktails debut every Tuesday for one-week-only runs, while the kitchen—open until 1am—serves African cuisine presented tapas-style, with the bar welcoming walk-ins Monday through Saturday from 6pm late.
