Friday's at Baraza Groove Bar

Perfect sunset - check. Heavenly cocktails - check. Festive party beats - check. This is what weekends at Baraza are all about!


Overlooking Camps Bay beach, with its many palm trees, white sands and azure waters, Baraza (Swahili for “meeting place”) boasts what must be one of the best locations of any bar in South Africa, only steps from the beach.

The Baraza formula is a simple one
, but it works perfectly. Take one prime beachfront location, mix in hours of addictive music, throw in an exciting cocktail menu and blend it all together to create a beach bar vibe that can’t be beat.

The ‘Fridays @ Baraza’ evenings
have been growing from strength to strength, with plenty of pleasure-seeking partygoers coming out to support the grooviest night out in Cape Town. Expect only the best quality funky, minimal and tech house music.

Every night there is a live DJ at Baraza, but this isn’t a typical clubbing venue. It’s a place for DJs to let their hair down a bit, and the party is always pumping, but never overwhelming.
