Observatory
Observatory, often called Obz, is a southern-suburbs district north of Rondebosch. Lower Main Road is the focus for an evening of casual dining and bars.
Why go
Lower Main Road gives this student-influenced district a clear centre to explore on foot. Its pubs and casual venues make it a different evening choice from the beachside setting of Camps Bay. Come for the street and neighbourhood atmosphere, then choose a venue after checking what is open.
What to look for
Lower Main Road is Observatory's main street for restaurants and pubs.
University of Cape Town student residences contribute to the district's student character.
Useful to know
Start on Lower Main Road rather than planning around an older venue listing.
Check current opening hours and transport options before an evening visit.
