This Week I...

….played Bitchy Bingo at Beefcakes.


Beefcakes is this awesome restaurant and bar on Cape Town’s pink strip. The décor is similar to a 50s style diner with booths and old school menu designs. There is also a lot of pink flamingos and sequined cowboy hats.

Along with Blue Eyes and Samma Designs, we headed over for some dinner and a game of bingo.

Beefcakes is famous for their burgers and some of the kinds include Buffy the Hamburger Slayer, Chilly on the Willy Burger, Slimmer Sue and the Greek God Burger. What’s even great is that you can have them in beef, chicken, lamb or ostrich. Other fabulous items on the menu include the Machos Nachos (which I completely devoured) and the Love-Me-Long-Time wrap.

Their cocktails were also amazing. I opted for my old faithful cosmopolitan which they made the way I like it, not too sweet and not too sour either. Other items I definitely want to try in the future are both the Nora Walker and Karen Walker cocktails.

Bitchy Bingo was hosted by Miss Lola Fine, a faboosh drag queen who did a roaring version of River Deep Mountain High.

For R20 you get to play four games with prizes including drinks hampers and meal vouchers. Sadly we did not win anything but we did have a fabulous time. And trust me bingo is much more entertaining when you have a female impersonator with a quick tongue and legs I’d kill for calling out the numbers.

Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!
