Bascule brings the spirit of Cape Town to life. Our intimate whisky and cocktail bar draws on the city’s contemporary speakeasy culture, offering an immersive journey into the essence of the Cape. The magnificent location on the edge of the marina and the elegant long bar set the scene for inspired evenings, from atmospheric cocktail hours to jazz-fueled discussions over 20-year-old Scotch.

Our current Tutored Tastings offerings are available daily from 12:30 - 16:30:

Classic Tutored Tasting at R 450 per person.
Premium Tutored Tasting at R 650 per person.

Above all, at Bascule we welcome you to experience the true warmth and sociability of Cape culture. Discover the treasures of our wine cellar, whisky collection and carefully crafted cocktail list – and join locals and visitors alike as they slow down and enjoy the moment.
