Bronx Bar, Cape Town, South Africa

Gay nightlife in the stunning and increasingly progressive city of Cape Town centers on the trendy de Waterkant neighborhood, just a short cab ride or moderate walk (best to take a cab at night) from the heart of downtown. Here you'll find several inviting gay bars, including the long-running, extremely cruisy Bronx Bar (35 Somerset Rd., 021-419-9216), which has a variety of engaging theme nights - karaoke Mondays, throbbing music on weekends. Expect plenty of shirtless muscle twinks here.
