About this place Crew Bar

Crew Bar is De Waterkant's main gay bar and club. It now trades from Cobern Street (Google lists 10 Cobern St) after leaving its old Napier Street address. Travel Gay and TravelPulse describe drag shows, karaoke and go-go dancers, plus a quieter upstairs room called Kong that draws a slightly older crowd. Most of the crowd is gay men, with plenty of tourists in summer. Google lists it as open from 18:00 to 02:00 every night. Weeknights can be quiet, and weekends get busy and loud. Reviews are mixed, and most complaints are about the door and the service. Take an e-hailing car home rather than walking far late at night.

The staffs were really nice. I love the karaoke host. He made the whole place sing along and dance a long even though there weren’t many people there. Very talented. Gotta go there on the weekends. Can’t wait to go back.

On the hottest days because it was 36 - 37C, of available the LGB (T) places? By far this has the best and most widespread air conditioning! It has much more atmosphere than nearby venues in de Waterkant. There's live music and karaoke sometimes, which you can view for dates, on a poster outside. Sundays, they were dead quiet. There's a wide selection of alcoholic drinks I picked-up on.
