It's all about the music and the dancefloor in a no-nonsense industrial space that packs in ravers for late nights, with one room downstairs for the main sweaty sets and the top floor (sometimes called The Jungle) for a slightly different vibe. What to expect is straigh.....

The Hickory Shack & Charlie's Garage Craft Brewery sits at 98 St George's Street in Simon's Town, right on the main drag near the penguin colony and harbour. It's a casual Texas-style smokehouse BBQ spot with an on-site craft brewery run by Charlie Murray (of Charlie's Garage). The vibe is rustic, welcoming and low-key Southern—think slow-smoked meats over hickory and pecan wood, house sauces, and fresh craft beers poured straight from the taps. No fancy fine-dining here: it's hearty, meat-focus.....

Opened on 11 November 2017, this was the first museum to bear the Louvre name outside France — a landmark moment for the Arab world's cultural ambitions and for Abu Dhabi's long-term vision of Saadiyat Island as a global arts destination. The building alone justifies the visit. Jean Nouvel's design centres on a vast latticed dome — 180 metres across — made up of 7,850 unique metal stars. Sunlight filters through in constantly shifting patterns, casting what has become known as a 'rain of light' .....

During the day and into the evening, the kitchen runs an Asian-influenced menu — sushi boards, sharing plates, and a solid cocktails list. The crowd at this point is a mix of after-work diners .....
