A world of pink feather boas, sparkly hats, cocktails, burgers and everything fun

I am always up for trying new restaurants especially when I have only heard wonderful feedback about the food, service, decor and overall experience. A girls night was planned to celebrate a very special occassion and I don't think any of us were ready for what the night would bring. Arriving at beefcakes, which is in Somerset Road in Green Point, one cannot miss the bright pink lights, you walk into a world which resembles the typical burger joint which one sees in American movies however there's nothing typical about this venue. One is overwhelmed by the decor, pink lots of pink, feather boas, chandeliers, mirrors, flamingos, sparkly hats and very cute boys in muscle tops or drag. Yes the majority of the men are not straight however they are absolutely fabulous as they strut their stuff in pink and white.

All the waiters are absolutely lovely, very friendly and willing to cater to all of your needs including body shots, yes thats right body shots. It costs R200 for a beefy, toned, muscular waiter to make his way to your table, lie on his back, pour tequilla on his abs, put a slice of lemon in his mouth and well the rest is history.

The restaurant is a burger bar thus the main item on the menu are burgers. One can choose between beef, chicken, lamb or ostrich burger patties. If you're not a big meat eater there are salads, wraps, nachos and a few other none meaty items. I had a Buffy the Hamburger Slayer which included a burger pattie topped with bacon, slice of cheddar, caramalised onions, avo and mushroom sauce which is served with a choice of french fries, wedges or side salad. The burger was good, a tad over cooked for me but it was very tasty and I'll definitely order it again. Apart from the wide selection of hamburgers, the cocktail menu is definitely one to note. The most popular drink of the night at our table was most certainly the Brazillian Mojito, which looked and tasted like lemon sorbet. Wow it was like a fresh lemon tree was growing in my mouth and droplets of fresh lemon was being squeezed onto my tongue, I literally could drink it all day and night for the rest of my life, its refreshing but so tasty at the same time.

Below beefcakes is Studio 54, which reminds one of 1970's disco. The dancefloor has a white carousel horse which attracts individuals to showoff their dance moves to songs such as It's raining men. Beefcakes is the perfect venue for a girls night, bachelorette party, date night and practically any occasion if you're keen for a night of fun, laughs and everything pink and sparkly.
