Perfectly located with sea views. Pakalola is viby and fun. Very popular with the locals and holiday makers from early to late. Thursday are really popular.

A great venue for a few drinks.  Situated along the beach front it's hard to beat the view. The Beer is cold and happy hour is a welcome saving. Staff are relatively sharp and beer is cold, I just wish they had a larger craft beer selection. Can get a little crowded at times and finding parking nearby is an issue sometimes.

Great location in Tableview, right at the beachfront, with Table Mountain and Cape Town creating a spectacular backdrop.

Perfect place to relax after a long day at work, with a beer or a glass of vino.

The menu is straightforward with a Mexican touch like Chilli con carne and nachos.

Overall great vibe and a great place to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze watching the world go
by with a drink or two!

Good vibe for a relaxed drink. The bartenders are cool and their cocktails are pretty good too. There are few seats and tables available though and it gets very busy sometimes..

Usually, a place like this would irritate me to no end. So let me review it honestly. This one gets 3.5 from me. If I were expecting my usual service and food quality, it would get a 1.

Firstly, it's a very relaxed vibe. No one seems to be in a rush, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I do enjoy swift service. There is no swift service here.

Secondly, the food is really blotting paper to me, but no one seems to mind and people are definitely ordering food here!

This isn't my go-to place to chill, however, I see some regulars from time to time, so if you're in the mood to lap up stunning views of the ocean and just drink the hours away, then this is the place to be because you won't notice the slow service and boring fries.

Just went for coffee after a night out. The barmen were cute and the staff helpful. The coffee was great too. Awesome vibe and good music. I'm glad to have been invited to this hidden gem. I wouldn't go to eat - but this venue is definitely the place for drinks to be had.

What a view! They properly fill their wine & beer glasses. We had Nachos - big portions of everything. The staff are also very friendly! Can't wait to go back... ?

Cocktail and drinks venue. Awesome view, great vibe and brilliant music, reminds me of bars on the Mediterranean. Food ok, but really a venue for drinks and meeting friends...

Myself and friends often visit Pakalolo for Sunday afternoon cocktails or Friday evening drinks.

Great view, great vibe, great service and delicious Nacho's :-)
Only thing is as a smoker I think they have the two sections the wrong way around with non smoking being much more spacious and the smoking area being sooo TINY that by 7pm you are being squashed like sardines and eventually we tend to move along to the next place that's not so cramped.

If you're looking for a spot for a nice cocktail with a breath-taking view Paka's will give you that..

The food was really good. The only problem were there is only 2 waiters. Poor waiters had to serve so many people on a sunny sunday afternoon. I must say service was fast but i felt so sorry for the waiters. When we had to pay she was so busy mixing drinks she could not even check the card machine if the amount went through or not.

Cheers to an unforgettable local gem! This bar is where fun and breathtaking sunsets collide. Gather with friends and revel in the vibrant atmosphere as the sun paints the sky in a kaleidoscope of hues. With delightful local brews and lively tunes, it's the perfect spot to celebrate life's cherished moments while nature puts on its finest show.

The Nacho Con Pollo has been my favorite dish for years and it's always delicious to order. They have the best view. Just know they get super busy on beautiful days, so a spot to watch the sunset isn't always available!

The place was a vibe, it reminded of me back in KZN. They played deep house the while time which is a plus in my eyes. The stuff is super chilled.

Had such a blast at Pakalolo Yesterday the vibe was so so nice if you are in the area pop in the staff is pretty awesome and the drinks is amazing they do a food menu I've never eaten there but the Cocktails and shooters is definitely worth the visit 🙂. Then there is the view over table mountains that you can also enjoy by looking out the window while sipping your worries away. It was my second time visiting Pakalolo's, and I had the best time ever 😎

Awsome chilled bar with a great vibe and an amazing view of the sunset. The place is a little small, so be prepared to stand if necessary. Please note that there is no smoking inside. Drinks are on the higher price range, but thats what you sacrifice for the best view in the house. Go check them out, you will not regret it!

It's one of those unsung gems. The food was excellent- we had the nachos, super tasty, and the perfect munch next to the beach. Pakalolo has one of the best views on the strip. It's always a good vibe with excellent service from their team. I will frequent the place every time I come back! Mingle with locals and tourists. Fun place.

The best view from a bar in Table View beach front. ⛱️ The owner was extremely friendly and attentive to customers' needs. Staff seemed a bit aloof and not very helpful. Nefer the less! Brilliant venue to appreciate a beautiful sunset.

Absolute pleasure to be here! View the vibe and company. Parking in Cape town always been a issue. Yet here there is a safe space for my vehicles. Came in as a stranger from Eastern Cape to a friend of many. You guys are the absolute favorite. Shout out to Tareen for handling my group so well and personal service. Shoutout to Bar and cleaning ladies that handle any mess or spillage effortlessly as needed on the busy occasions. I look forward to many more visit with the team and friendly company. Thank you!

What a way to enjoy a sunset. Fantastic service and a beautiful sunset. Stunning view of table mountain. Locals hanging out here adds to the atmosphere of the place and the music set a super mood. Guess what sport Singyn (a barmen) do and win a beer on the house 😉

After the 1 million times coming to Cape Town I’ve never been to Pakalolo, what a weirdo! It’s mostly because it is always jam packed with people because it’s so popular. I can see why this a local favourite. Their cocktails are amazing and so flippin well priced! We’re being ripped off everywhere else to be honest. Well done guys- true patriots 💪🏼 I’m a tequila sunrise fan and it’s not a drink you can really find anymore, at least in Joeys- but they have it and a 2.0 version- the Pakalolo Sunrise! Amazeballs! Get it! The food was awesome- we had the nachos, super tasty and the perfect munch down right next to the beach. What more can a water loving human need?! I will definitely frequent the place every time I come back!

Was a good vibe. Unfortunately the tv for sport was only in the small bar section and the manager sat 2 ladies at a large table which would have suited our big party way better. Bar staff was great though

One of those unsung gems. Friendly happy vibe, yummy large portioned food (Best nachos ever.......expect large portions), incredibly good service a difinite must visit for the best happy go lucky beach vibe. Definitely on our must visit list. If beach dining could be fine this is the place where it is at.
