Shimmy Beach Club fever has been heating up both locals and visitors to the Mother City for the last seven years. Its popularity reached an even greater height in 2019 when it was ranked at number 35 on the Internatio­nal Nightlife Associatio­n’s list of the Top 100 Clubs in the World. Shimmy Beach Club is the only club in Southern Africa to make the prestigiou­s list – an honour that they do not take lightly! With Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa making it into the top three, and clubbing institutio­ns such as Studio 338 in London and Elrow in Barcelona ranking lower on the list, Shimmy Beach Club has been confirmed as club royalty on an internatio­nal level.

Driving through the iconic V&A Waterfront prescient, Shimmy Beach Club is a vibrant beacon. The 220-seater restaurant is set on a man-made beach, right on the edge of the ocean, and boasts sensationa­l views. With two spectacula­r pools, two bars, a cocktail lounge, and plenty of sunset viewing potential, Shimmy Beach Club is considered Cape Town’s premier lifestyle destinatio­n.

Spend the day sipping cocktails in the pool, gather the family for a delicious lunch, treat your partner to a decadent date night with a view, or dance the night away in the nightclub or at one of their outdoor music festivals.

Shimmy Beach Club shines with its versatilit­y.

Shimmy’s famous summer parties are always the highlight on the calendar, year after year, regularly hosting world-renowned performers like DJ Black Coffee, Fisher, Goldfish and more on their iconic dome stage. Whether an Ibiza-style pool party, a late-night spent clubbing or outdoor music festival appeals to you, you can guarantee that Shimmy Beach Club will have something in store to get you in the party mood.

Shimmy Beach Club’s summer menu affirms this idyllic seaside restaurant as a foodie destinatio­n. Head Chef Lungile Ngwenya and Executive Chef Adrian Cook have put their heads together to bring you a delicious new menu that will have you coming back to Shimmy for more.

For poolside dining at its best, the Beach Menu (separate from the restaurant menu) has been created with a laid-back Capetonian style of eating in mind. Choose from one of the à la carte dishes on offer, or make a platter of your favourite finger foods that will keep you happy and nourished during a long day of poolside tanning, drinking and soaking up the summer sun.

The famous sushi and dim sum selection remains a firm favourite all year round, and diners can count on only the freshest, highest quality fish on their sushi platter. Shimmy’s wood-fired pizzas also go down a treat, with the option of a low-carb cauliflowe­r pizza base, as well as vegan cheese for the dairyfree guest.

And don’t forget the cocktails! Whether you like yours shaken, stirred, blitzed or blended, Shimmy Beach Club’s cocktail menu has something to quench your thirst. Berry Mojitos, Mai Tais and Tequila Sunrises all pair perfectly with the sun, sea and Shimmy vibe – with the taste of summer in every sip.

A kiddies’ menu is also available for the little ones to enjoy between splashing around in the pool or playing in the designated kids’ jungle gym and play area.

Offering you the best of all worlds, Shimmy’s excellent service, stylish atmosphere and world-class culinary delights will keep you coming back again and again to take in the full experience of this oceanside gem in the Mother City. It is no secret as to why Shimmy Beach Club has been voted the number one beach club in Southern Africa.

Shimmy Beach Club is located at 12 South Arm Road, V & A Waterfront. Visit www.shimmybeac­hclub.com for bookings, tickets and more informatio­n.
