Old Bridge Tavern.............perhaps one of the oldest in Somerset West. A good watering hole to meet people and have a good meal. From there you can head to Nameless pub or NuBar for dancing the night away. Basic and local, be prepared to lower your standards for a fun night out to let your hair down.

Hermanus is an hours drive away. At certain times of the year you can see the whales. Crafts, beaches and more. Wine routes up Route 64 is also accessed from here. Beautiful scenery as you wind your way around. Either hire an Uber, tour bus or other to fully enjoy the experience or drive yourself. Very strict drinking and driving rules in SA, so be cautious and make sure your driver has 0% alcohol:).
