V&A Waterfront

Bascule Bar

Come to Bascule Bar during sunset or after dark for a refined whiskey experience on the edge of the marina at the Cape Grace Hotel. With a whiskey selection that's a global journey in itself, this is ideal for enthusiasts and those exploring new flavors. It's perfect for couples or small groups looking for an intimate evening, with light snacks to pair but save dinner for elsewhere. The view of yachts and Table Mountain as your backdrop adds to the charm. Know you might brush shoulders with tourists and that during busy nights, the atmosphere might be livelier than expected.
