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.

    We only had cocktails at bar, no food. Bartender was friendly and talented. Cocktails are expensive but definitely memorable and dramatic.
