The Twankey - iKapa iNingizimu Afrika

I enjoyed a platter that included pork belly, poppers, and ribs, all of which were delicious. I also tried the nachos, which were very good as well. However, the standout of the evening was definitely the cocktails.

The mojitos here are the best in town and reasonably priced at R50, and the bar snacks are quite good as well. Unfortunately, for reasons I can't quite grasp, the atmosphere seems to have lost its charm. During our several visits, the place was nearly empty, which is really disappointing because they make excellent cocktails.

If you love beer and popcorn, you'll be in for a treat at this fantastic spot! The Taj group always delivers when it comes to great food and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended!

Everyone enjoys a little bit of class and sophistication every now and then and Twankey Bar in Cape Town’s city centre is sophistication personified. The street-side bar is the perfect place to catch up over a few drinks with old friends. We went through on a Thursday evening, straight after work and loved the casual yet lively atmosphere of the place. We grabbed a table near the bar and were treated to live jazz music while we munched on a bowl of complimentary popcorn and sipped on craft beers and some of the best Mojitos in Cape Town. The bar has also become well know for their great selection of local craft beers and ciders. Brands on offer including Devils Peak, Darling Brew, Jack Black Brewing Co, Boston Breweries and Everson’s. With four beers available on-tap every day and an even wider range available by the bottle, there’s plenty to help you wet your whistle. Another must-try at Twankey Bar is a Mojito. The bar offers five different Mojito flavours including Rose Hibiscus Mojito and a Pink Grapefruit Mojito. The Mojitos are all R50 each but if you go on Thursdays you get R10 off all Mojitos and trust me, they’re worth it! <br/ <br/ As for the food, you can’t go wrong with having a light bite with your drinks. We ordered a basket of Roasted Chicken Wings with sour cream and fries and the Southern Fried Chicken Fingers with fries and were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. The wings basket came with a good amount of wings and fries to snack on and definitely kept the hunger pangs at bay. The Chicken Fingers were also a real treat and are a must-order if you’re into deep fried snacks. Once again the Chicken Fingers came in a generous portion size and are served in a basket. I loved the food at this spot as its unpretentious and uncomplicated but still super delicious!

Great chilli poppers and finger foods. Service is usually on the slow side but it's a grwat spot for a midday coffee meeting or after work drinks! (Great mojitos)
