How it works

Know before you go.

  1. The live map

    Every bar, club and restaurant on one map. Venues light up as people check in, so you can see where it's busy before you head out.

  2. Check in

    At a venue, tap Check in and say how busy it is and how it feels. Your check-in lights it up for everyone.

  3. Plan your night

    Tap Plan to go on the places you're heading to, and see how many others plan to be there too.

For venues

Your venue is probably already on PULSE.

We're emailing venues across Cape Town to check their details: opening hours, photos, prices and what you're known for. Questions in the meantime? We'd love to hear from you.
