Mavericks Revue Bar: Cape Town’s Iconic Adult Entertainment Venue

Long established as the city’s most iconic adult entertainment experience, Mavericks Revue Bar delivers exciting, world-class performances, great food and a lively buzz for locals and visitors alike. Here’s everything you need to know about the celebrated experience.

Madame JoJo’s: Cirque Noir

Every week, Mavericks hosts drag kings, queens, and in-betweens in a variety show where anything goes. Now extended until December, the event is opening its doors for an exclusive celebration of the spooky season – with the usual level of Madame JoJo’s debauchery.

Cirque Noir runs for six nights only throughout mid-October, with dark carnival production, live circus performers, and an all-female DJ lineup that demands bold costumes to enter. The best part? Tickets are even cheaper than usual, making the experience more accessible to anyone wanting a spooky, sexy, and scandalous night out.

Cost: From R100 per person. Book now on Quicket.

When: Thursday – Saturday, 22 – 31 October 2026 | 7pm – 4am

Madame JoJo’s

Every week, Mavericks plays host to drag kings, queens, and in-betweens in a variety show where anything goes.

The night starts with half-priced cocktails from 7pm, followed by a mix of cabaret noir, sensual burlesque, surprise acts, and, of course, shows from many of the Mother City’s drag performers. After-dark is where the night kicks into gear, with DJs, go-go dancers, and a whole host of antics and mystery performances throughout the rest of the show – all hosted by Madame JoJo herself.

While Lilly Slaptsilli continues to host Thursday nights, beloved performer Miss Vanessa Harris becomes Madame JoJo exclusive on Fridays, bringing her own distinctive cabaret style to the proceedings. While the exact debauchery may vary nightly, guests can expect the same tantalising performances and Madame JoJo’s unique energy every time.

Cost: From R200 per person. Book now on Quicket.

When: Thursdays & Fridays, until 12 December 2026 | 7pm – 4am | 8pm – 10.30pm (show starts) | From 10.30pm (After Dark)

The Highlights of the Mavericks Revue Bar Experience

Over 100 Dancers

With a diverse line-up of talented dancers from around the globe, Mavericks delivers an impressive mix of burlesque, themed shows and high-energy pole performances.

Non-Stop Music & Nightlife

Top DJs play every night, keeping the energy high from open to close. Midweek favourites like Topless DJ Wednesdays ensure the party never slows down, creating a uniquely Cape Town vibe, long after the rest of the city closes.

Late Night Dining Until 3.30am

Mavericks serves a full restaurant-quality menu long after most kitchens in Cape Town close. Guests can enjoy steaks, Wagyu burgers, sushi and sharing platters—far beyond the usual late night fast food options.

Drinks, Cigars & Premium Service

From cocktails and champagne to whiskey and shooters, the bar menu fits right in with the city’s top nightlife venues. A fully stocked humidor with premium Cuban cigars adds a luxurious touch.

A Multi-Level Venue to Explore

Spread across three floors and five stages, each area offers something different. The Main Floor is energetic, social and close to the action. VIP Mezzanine offers elevated views with a more intimate feel. VIP Empire Lounge & Platinum Lounge hosts luxurious spaces with private seating and exclusive performances. Finally, the VVIP Library is completely private and perfect for an unforgettable night.

The Best Bachelor Parties in Cape Town

Mavericks specialises in bachelor celebrations with reserved seating, bottle service and private dance options. The famous Bachelor’s Chair—where the groom gets a customised on-stage performance—remains a highlight for any send-off.
