About this place Versatile

Versatile is a gay bar on Cobern Street in central Cape Town, just a few blocks from the city's main LGBTQ+ area.

Cape Town has a long-standing reputation as South Africa’s most LGBTQ+-friendly city. You'll find everything from quiet pubs to full-on dance clubs, and Versatile is one of the more straightforward options: a dedicated gay bar where locals and visitors can meet up.

Its Cobern Street address puts it right in the heart of the gay district. If you're new to the city and want to get a feel for the scene, start here. The crowd is friendly, and regulars will likely point you to whatever else is going on that night.
