The Best Tiki Bars in Cape Town
6 tiki bars in Cape Town ranked by rum selection, technique, and atmosphere.
Cape Town tiki bars are small in number but the South African rum scene is increasingly serious. The local distilleries — Mhoba, Pienaars and Sons — produce some of the most distinctive rums on earth.
