One of the third-oldest continuously operating pubs in Cape Town, the name has been around since 1972, though nobody can really tell you EXACTLY WHEN they first opened their doors.
Vascos has earned the affectionate moniker "The Portuguese Embassy" from the Portuguese-speaking community.
However, despite the unofficial name, anyone is welcome to visit Vascos, not just members of the Portuguese community.
Vascos had a men-only rule for the majority of the time it had been operating until women were finally permitted entry in the year 2000.
Vascos has had the same owner since its inception, and after a few ownership changes, it has finally settled with Bryn Ressel as the sole owner.
So if you're unsure of where to go for a soothing drink next, drop by Vascos instead. Here, we treat everyone like family, and you can sense the history seeping from the walls.
Vascos, on the other hand, is not to be missed when a special event is taking place. The venue is packed to the rafters and everyone is having a good time, truly bringing our community together. Read More
