Mzoli’s Place, situated just outside Cape Town in the township of Gugulethu , is known for its vibrant parties, diverse patronage and of course, their signature meat.
Kwa-Mzoli, as locals call it, is the ideal place to introduce oneself to township culture, the friendly people, big personalities, street fashion and the partying that never stops.
Incorrectly referred to as a shebeen because of the copious amounts of alcohol consumed there, Mzoli’s Place started as a butchery with a shisa nyama (a local term used to describe an informal barbecue at a butchery), but has expanded to include live entertainment, music and a bar. If you are on the lookout for the latest and hottest South African acts, then Mzoli’s Place is your destination. Well known DJs and bands regularly play at Mzoli’s Place and it is the after-party venue for many of the cultural happenings in Cape Town.
The highlight of Mzoli’s Place, however, is the meat, which is braaied (barbecued) on the premises with their signature secret mix of herbs and spices. Patrons need to bring their own beverages, crockery and cutlery. Mzoli’s provides the meat and the excellent party atmosphere and you bring the rest.
Mzoli’s Place is a great spot to end off your week. Sundays are usually the best days to go, as the music is live and the locals happy. Get there early as the queues usually wind around the block and parking is limited. Book a shuttle directly from your accommodation; it’s convenient and will definitely be needed after all the alcohol you’ll probably consume!
