The Grey, Rooftop bar and terrace in De Waterkant neighborhood, Cape Town, South Africa.
The Grey is a rooftop bar in the De Waterkant area offering panoramic views of the city and Table Mountain, with a swimming pool and contemporary outdoor seating. The space combines modern design with a relaxed setting ideal for evening visits.
The venue opened in the early 2000s as part of Cape Town's shift toward modern elevated social spaces. It helped reshape the Waterkant area into a destination for contemporary leisure and dining.
The bar celebrates South African craft spirits and showcases local artists' work throughout its spaces, reflecting the creative traditions of the region.
It is wise to book ahead since space is limited, especially during evening hours. The best time to visit is around sunset when the views are most striking and the bar comes alive.
A discreet stairway hidden from the street level leads up to the terrace, creating a sense of discovery and privacy. This secluded entry point makes the rooftop feel like a secret refuge away from the bustle below.
