Bascule Bar

A Timeless Hidden Gem An experience defined by sophistication and quiet charm. Whether I book ahead or walk in, the service is consistently professional and warm, making it the ideal spot for a memorable experience. The atmosphere carries a sense of timeless luxury, almost as if I’ve stepped into another era.

The best restaurant I've been to so far in Cape Town, I went alone and they treated me very well, amazing drinks, fantastic food and sublime atmosphere. You feel like a millionaire 🤌

Lovely whiskey bar situated across the marina, in the VA waterfront. Has a high-end speakeasy set up. Impressive whisky selection, but also a considerable and impressive wine cellar. Pleasant outdoor seating with views of the marina and Table Mountain. Light and heavy snacks available. Higher end stuff. I had a very pleasant time sipping sparking wine and enjoying the oysters, whole balding in the afternoon sun.

Brilliant cocktails and great vibes. Overall a big fan of this place and the drinks. Service is good, however I feel some detailing was missing, like removing the nut & olive plate when empty, etc.

One of my favorite bars in Cape Town. Great food, great service, and an excellent variety of Whiskeys. Staff is always friendly.

Absolute pleasure to have had drinks here. Away from the touristy chaos of the waterfront, this place is a hidden gem for cocktails, whiskey and more. With a very extensive drinks menu and very friendly staff and service, we were saddened we only discovered this place on the last day of our trip. Staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable on all things whiskey. Great experience.

Loved it! Would love if they offered sushi.

What a lovely experience! From the atmosphere to the service, it was impeccable. We did a premium whiskey tasting for my dad and Nevin had the most wonderful bank of whiskey knowledge. He was passionate and made the experience very memorable. Highly recommend this experience.
