PLACES TO EAT, DRINK
AND SOCIALISE

Kloof Street is one of Cape Town’s effortlessly cool food hubs. Packed with buzzing cafés, cocktail bars, hidden gems, and some of the city’s best restaurants. From laid-back brunch spots and artisan coffee to late-night dining and rooftop drinks, there’s always something new to try just steps from our front door. It can be hard to keep up – so we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite spots to help you eat (and drink) your way through the neighbourhood.

YOURS TRULY

Just next door, there is a super popular bar brought to you by, Yours Truly “Same time tomorrow!” A suitable slogan for this neighbourhood fav. Think Jacaranda trees and greenery hanging down from every angle, delicious craft beer on tap and fresh local beats daily until 11pm. Whether you’re in need of a coffee, meal, drink, conversation or just a good dance, Yours Truly, is where you’ll find it.

RANDY WARTHOG

Looking for a proper backpacker night out? Head over to our sister hostel in Green Point and join the fun at Randy Warthog Bar – never@home’s very own social hub. Think karaoke, trivia, beer pong, live sport, happy hour, weekly specials and that classic Cape Town hostel energy.

It is not on Kloof Street, but it is worth the short trip if you are keen to meet other travellers, grab a drink, and experience the bigger never@home family.

THE CONSCIOUS KITCHEN

The Conscious Kitchen is a plant-based juice bar and café devoted to a more mindful way of eating, producing and consuming. Rooted in sustainability, every dish is designed to nourish both people and planet.

Located in the vibrant Gardens neighbourhood of Cape Town, this Kloof Street favourite offers wholesome, plant-based cuisine that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying. From cold-pressed juices and smoothies to colourful bowls and nourishing café classics.

TIGERS MILK

Tigers Milk Kloof Street Clubhouse is the best destination for ‘dude food’ made good. With their menu talking pizza, grills, burgers and beer to the next level. Also a great party spot on the weekend AND only a stones throw from us!

HUDSONS

Hudsons the Burger Joint, as the name implies is an America inspired diner with a contemporary twist in its design, with the inclusion of Tom Dixon Beat lights, genuine leather booths, hand crafted dining chairs, mounted animal horns and New York city street maps. Their rock and roll beats, attentive eye-catching staff all set the fast paced tone for the urban consumer on the hunt for casual gourmet.

BLONDIE

They say blondes have more fun, and that’s true of Blondie Restaurant on Kloof Street, which opened in December 2021. It’s become a favourite local hangout, with its friendly environment, Mediterranean-inspired food, great vegan and vegetarian options and affordable prices. Plus it is only a few doors away from never@home Kloof Street. 

ASOKA

Enjoy upbeat music, tasty nibbles and cool cocktails at this central hotspot. Set under the eaves of a revamped Victorian-era house, Asoka is an ambient bar and restaurant built around a 150-year-old, fairy-lit olive tree on Kloof Street. And, despite so many restaurants vying for attention on this popular strip, Asoka stands out, as it has for over a decade, as a vibrant venue – with decadent food and drinks to match!

ZUNEY BURGERS

Just a short walk from the hostel, you’ll find Zuney Burgers, a go-to spot for seriously good comfort food.

Their focused menu features American-style smash burgers made with farm-to-table Wagyu beef, pickles, Wagyu-infused onions and a secret house sauce, all served on a light brioche bun. Add crisp fries and a cold beer, and you’ve got the perfect post-adventure meal. Simple, flavour-packed and only minutes from our front door.
