10 reasons to love Harald’s Rooftop Bar & Terrace
Last updated: 30 October 2024
Please note that Harald's is temporarily closed.
---
Uncomplicated. Unpretentious. This rooftop bar, in the middle of the city, is delightfully down-to-earth and welcoming. Just ask to be buzzed up to the 11th floor, where you can pick from a long list of freshly-prepared cocktails and meals like masala steak sliders and Cape Malay curry or pizzas and burgers. Here’s 10 reasons to visit Harald’s Rooftop Bar & Terrace.
Harald’s Rooftop Bar & Terrace is the rooftop bar and eatery of Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore. It’s just a 10 minute walk from the Cape Town International Convention Centre and many of the CBD’s major office buildings (like The Towers and Civic Centre), which makes it such a natural meeting point for business lunches or after-work drinks.

Radisson hotels are known for being fuss free and down-to-earth, and creating positive moments for its guests – and this is true for Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore, too. It’s an unpretentious space, where the staff is consistently pleasant and welcoming, whether you’re a guest or day visitor.

Harald’s spills over from inside (with a stunning glass ceiling) to an outdoor terrace and balcony, where a colourful mural by AwehMigo, known for his bold graffiti-like style, covers one of the walls. Visitors will also be happy to know that there are plugs outside and free wifi.

From the barstool seating you’ll be able to watch the city’s commuters flock to and from Adderley station; the city’s traffic slowly making its way around Adderley Street Fountain; the trees that line Heerengracht Street. And of course, the majestic Table Mountain.

Harald’s food offerings are simply delightful with pizzas, burgers, pastas and sharing platters. The menu is influenced by local flavours, like the Local is Lekker platter (masala steak sliders, chicken spring rolls and boerewors).

Visiting a rooftop bar wouldn’t be complete without a sundowner, and Harald’s has signature cocktails like Klip and Chill (Klipdrift, Campari, orange and soda) and Skyy Raise (Skyy vodka muddled with mint leaves, cranberry syrup and orange juice).
Harald’s even has Pigcasso wines on the menu. Image: Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore
On the menu too are everyday favourites like Durbanville Hills, D’Aria, Black Label and Castle. Pongrácz, Prosecco, Hennessy VSOP and Glenlivet 15 year also feature for the more discerning drinker.
If you’re not in the mood for cocktails, there are plenty of everyday favourites on the menu too. Image: Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore
Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore has event rooms for groups anywhere between 14 and 140 people, complete with modern audiovisual equipment, free wifi, and snacks. You could host your next meeting or conference here, then head upstairs to Harald’s for drinks (or a coffee break and fresh air). Harald’s is also a great spot for a private cocktail event or product launch.

Birthday? Bachelorette? Anniversary? Harald’s calls for celebrations. You could have sundowners and dinner, then take the lift downstairs to your room, which are modern and elegant. There’s rooms with mountain or city views, for couples or families, and you’ll have complimentary access to a pool, gym and secure indoor parking.

Thanks to its location, Harald’s is also the place to start (or end) your night. Long Street, Cape Town’s nightlife hotspot, is just a 10 minute walk away. Food and art hub Bree Street isn’t much further. Or Kloof Street, where you’ll find some of the city’s most buzzy and upcoming bars and restaurants.
Harald’s is nearby so many bustling city scenes. Image: Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore
