ALERT: Use code: FOODBLOG10 to get 10% off General Admission tickets for Cape Town Cocktail Week on Quicket and enjoy signature serves for just R50 at 40 bars in town.
Cape Town Cocktail Week is taking over the Mother City from 10–16 December 2025, and The Village Idiot is absolutely not sitting this one out.
In fact, it’s doubling down on the fun with two back-to-back events that promise music, energy, food, and good old Cape Town nightlife charm.
For those rocking an official CTCW wristband, signature serves during the festival are only R50 at participating top bars. That’s the magic of Cocktail Week: a citywide celebration of creativity, hospitality, and discovering bars you thought you already knew.
But at The Village Idiot? Expect the unexpected.
🥁 Soul Shaker Wednesdays — Powered by Vusa Vodka
📅 Wednesday, 10 December • 20:00–23:00
📍 The Village Idiot, 32 Loop Street
On Wednesday night, The Village Idiot transforms into a rhythm-filled playground thanks to Soul Shaker Wednesdays, hosted in partnership with Vusa Vodka.
From 8pm, Afro House DJs take full control of the energy — all warm rhythms, deep beats, and foot-tapping flow that fills the whole space. It’s the perfect soundtrack whether you’re chilling with friends or nibbling through one of the Stellenbosch-style pizzas The Village Idiot is known for.
Oh, and there’s this flavour bomb of a deal:
Buy any pizza, get a free frozen cocktail.
A delicious one-two combo of food and a refreshing treat — all without the guilt of breaking the bank.
Entrance is open to all until 10pm. After that, it’s R80 — still well worth it for a midweek outing that feels like a mini festival.
🎤 Idiots Unplugged – Karaoke Night
📅 Thursday, 11 December • 21:00–23:00
📍 The Village Idiot, 32 Loop Street
Age Policy: 21+
On Thursday, things get even wilder — but in the best way.
Idiots Unplugged is The Village Idiot’s legendary karaoke night, and Cape Town Cocktail Week is giving it an extra spark. Whether someone sings like Beyoncé or like a showerhead, everyone is welcome to step up to the mic.
Every brave soul who sings gets a free shot, plus there’s a R500 bar tab up for grabs for the night’s winning vocalist. (Winner chosen by crowd reaction — so bring your loud friends!)
To keep the munchies at bay, baskets are 50% off, making it that much easier to keep the energy going all night long.
Karaoke, snacks, cheering strangers, and pure unscripted chaos?
That’s the spirit of Cape Town.
✨ Why The Village Idiot is a Must-Stop During CTCW
Cape Town Cocktail Week celebrates creativity, flavour, and the unique culture of each participating venue — and The Village Idiot has always been a local favourite for a reason. Between nostalgic décor, hearty food, big personality, and a crowd that’s always ready for a good time, it’s the perfect backdrop for CTCW’s signature serves and weeklong adventure.
Whether you’re easing into the week with Afro House beats or belting out your favourite throwbacks on stage, The Village Idiot is ready to welcome you with open arms (and great specials).
