Summary: Harringtons Cocktail Lounge in Cape Town is hosting Thrift at Harry’s on Thursday, 27 August 2026, from 17:00 to 20:00 at 61B Harrington Street, District Six.

There are ordinary Thursday plans, and then there are plans involving vintage rails, cocktails, tapas and the possibility of finding a jacket nobody else in the room owns.
Thrift at Harry’s returns to Harringtons Cocktail Lounge on Thursday, 27 August, bringing Thrift Fest into the venue from 17:00 to 20:00 for an evening built around pre-loved fashion, local sellers and a suitably social atmosphere.
Visitors can browse rails of second-hand clothing and handpicked thrift finds, with sellers such as The Peep Boutique bringing a mix of new arrivals, everyday pieces, statement items and the occasional rarer discovery.
- The shopping comes with a Harringtons twist. Happy hour runs until 19:00, with cocktails and tapas available for those who prefer their bargain hunting with something in hand and something on the table. From 19:00, Electric Nomad joins the evening, giving guests another reason not to rush home once the thrift rails have been thoroughly investigated.
Those who miss this edition will also have another opportunity to browse, with another round of thrifting planned at Harringtons for First Thursday on 3 September. For Cape Town locals who enjoy hunting for pre-loved gems as much as they enjoy a cocktail and a plate of tapas, this is a Thursday evening with considerably more potential than simply going straight home.
