"Boring, Not safe, the pole on the veranda fell over on Friday night when we were there. It seems like the owners of the establishment knew about it being unstable and still let guests sit in this vicinity. The one guest actually fell over. Please do better."

"It's been over 20 years since I did a clubbing night out in Cape Town...so decided to try out Crew Bar. Cosy little club with an energetic vibe. The DJ rocked...loved their music selection...if they can get me on the dance floor...it's good music! Great service. Sexy bartenders. ;) Welcoming manager. (If you read this...I was in the black and white "mask") Had a couple of fantastic conversations with random patrons. All in all had a good time. Was a little quieter than I'd expected from a Friday night but that's good... for me ...cos then I don't knock people over as I bounce around the dance floor ^.^ Hope to revisit :)"
