fable cocktail bar is everything you’re looking for on a night out. Cocktails you’ve never seen before, world class djs and lively energy.

Each fabled cocktail is a unique creation that went through countless iterations before being perfected. Like the fable it is based on, each drink unfolds in four parts over four seasons. With every new iteration comes new flavours and complexity, adding depth to the original and hinting at what’s to come.

    We booked a table for inside and when we got there they wanted to place us outside, so not sure why the booking didn't correspond. They then placed us upstairs. One of our drinks orders that was placed was wrong, but didn't want to complain. The drinks we ordered looked really nice (so makes for great photos and was well presented), but I do feel it is quite expensive (didn't feel like there was much alcohol in, not even for the big cocktail which is supposed to cater for two, and we had a few so might have skipped the Uber home). Have been to other cocktail bars where you get your money worth for an expensive cocktail. The tapas were amazing! We ordered twice. Prawns were overpriced (R150 for 5 very tiny prawns?), but the olives, chicken pops, sliders and flatbread was really nice and worth it. I would go again to try their burgers and to show my other friends, since it is an experience, but it is pricey for what you get, so won't be my go to for cocktails.

    Unfortunately they sent us away because they allow no children in the restaurant/bar. They said it is a legal regulation. We habe been in SA for 5 weeks now and visited countless different bars, fine dining restaurants and even concert venues and never heard about the fact, that children are prohibited at places where alcohol is served... We traveled with our kids to neatly every continent so far and never had a problem with this fact so we were absolutely not aware. Besides the fact that the table was reserved at 4 pm in the afternoon and the bar was nearly empty, it was also a huge disappointment because we drove from Franschhoeck 1 hour to Cape Town to have one Cocktail at this bar to celebrate a special day for us. We went to another Cocktail bar right afterwards and it was fine, but it was really rude, also because the waiter made fun of us telling us "maybe the baby wants a Tequila". If there is a legal issue, which tells you to keep away children from bars - okay, thats fine. If you just don't want children in your "fancy" space I would highly appreciate to write it on you website or point it out during online booking.

    Best cocktail bar I’ve been to. Amazing atmosphere and great service. The drinks are out of this world. I didn’t have any food so can’t comment of that
