"Beards, Beer, and Brownies in Cape Town The Power and the Glory is a cool bistro in the center of Cape Town that has attracted a cult following among locals. The relaxed style, the bearded staff, the folding chairs, and the sidewalk stools may remind you of a Brooklyn cafe. If you can snag a chair, it makes for a great place to work or to have a meeting over a light breakfast. In the evening, the place is usually packed with revelers. Try the quiche in the morning, the pretzel bun hot dog in the evening, and the Nutella cheesecake for dessert."

The Power & The Glory - Review - Gardens - Cape Town - The Infatuation

"An evening at The Power & The Glory is the best way to experience Cape Town at night. People gather here in such high numbers that they spill down the street every evening, drinking CBC beer or a local Chenin, eating their infamous hot dogs, and talking to the famous bouncer. It also shares a wall with Publik, Cape Town’s main wine bar, in case you don’t make it to wine country." - Dana Alloy

This place is amazing! We arrived to cape town for the first night and the place just got renovated! It’s the most cozy place and the waitress Cassidy made it even better! She is so dedicated to give you a good time! The music is nice, the food is good and the place is so warm. Definitely recommended!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Celebrating my birthday at Power and Glory was the worst mistake ever. We met the managers three days before, confirmed everything — music, lights, dance floor, special area, and food orders. They promised us “do whatever you want.” But on the day? Total disaster. Staff knew nothing, the manager on duty kept saying no to everything, and every request was ignored. We had 25–30 guests, food was supposed to be ready by 9 PM. It came an hour late, wasn’t enough, and when we asked for more, they said the kitchen was closed. Guests ended up waiting hungry while I was serving food myself, and one of my friends had to stand in the kitchen begging chefs to hurry. Instead of celebrating, we spent the night arguing and waiting. The management is unprofessional, the staff is clueless, and their promises are nothing but lies. ⚠️ Never book this place for any occasion. Power and Glory ruined my birthday and I would never recommend it to anyone.

Best staff and best food! Highly recommend their hotdogs. A great place to work during the day (there are few plug points though), and such a vibe of a place to get a drink at in the evening!

Vibey bar / restaurant Great atmosphere Great balcony seating for watching the world go by. And there was a real fire place inside 👏👏👏

It is usually just my pop in place after a run up to Table Mountain. I love their hot chocolate and for a quick bite I have had a hot dog which was really tasty, and had a good hot dog bun. The breakfast bowl was also delicious. In summer always popping in for their lovely refreshing water, with lemon and berries.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. The place is absolutely beautiful, and looks so warm and inviting. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the food looked absolutely incredible. Quaint coffee shop by day, The power and The Glory is transformed into a bustling bar by night. Definitely worth visiting.

We were in Cape Town in July 2024. We stayed across the street from this spot. We had pickle backs every night and their breakfast sandwiches were delicious.

The new upstairs bar is a great venue for a sundowner or chilled pizza. Good value and nice food
