Tucked away in the heart of Cape Town, you’ll find fable - the not so serious, serious - cocktail bar, where folklore comes to life through cocktails flavours and theatrics. With a menu inspired by South African myths and legends, fable blends local ingredients with world-class technique to deliver a sensory journey in every sip. Behind the magic is an extraordinary team of hospitality artists - curious, cheeky, and deeply committed to craft. Their camaraderie and creativity earned Fable nominations for best international cocktail bar and best international bar team - a testament to their vision of connection, culture, and community, one cocktail at a time.

    I had a wonderful experience at Fable. They very kindly gave me a complimentary cocktail because it was my birthday. I highly recommend visiting them, especially for their happy hour!

    Everything was perfect definitely coming back to try out some other drinks

    fable cocktail bar responded on Mon 24 Aug 26:
    Hi, Metayo Thank you. There are eight signatures on the current menu and most people only get through two or three, so there's plenty waiting for you. See you on the next one.
