Coming up very soon, is the nuptials of a very good friend. As a pre-wedding/Bachelor party we celebrated at Beefcakes in Illovo this past weekend.
Beefcakes is a restaurant and entertainment venue synonymous with a retro 50’s Miami beach vibe enhanced by the madness of a glamorous drag show, sexy male waiters and delicious burgers. It’s camp chic at it’s best.
Think flamingo’s, glitter, pink drinks and boy’s! As an entertainment venue it’s popular with bachelorette parties; however birthdays, baby showers, divorce parties and like us a Bachelor’s & Bachelor’s (which we later found out was the first at the venue) worked wonderfully. They have other themed nights through the week such as “Bitchy Bingo” on Tuesday’s and “The Dreemz Drag” on Thursday.
The vibe and layout of the venue is very fun and friendly, everyone from the waiters to the vamp’s are absolutely fantastic. One of the clear highlights of the evening was the drag show put on by “The Vamps” who did a varied, current and entertaining music montage, accentuated with hair, makeup, sequins and extravagant costumes.
They are pretty famed for the beefcakes burgers, which are actually extremely tasty and are accompanied with fries and a selection of burger additions, such as guacamole, salsa and cheese’s. They do offer an a la carte menu with a more detailed offering. The Cocktails are pretty pink and yummy!
Finally, the evening end’s off with all the waiters stripping off their top’s revealing buffed, toned bodies that are up for body shot’s. A particularly popular offering especially for the brides-to-be.
Overall, beefcakes is a good, fun night out! It provides an evening of food, laughs, drinks and fancy entertainment!
Beefcakes is located in Illovo next to the Thrupp’s centre and they have an alternate branch in Bedfordview.
