If you thought this innovative forwarding-thinking Cape Town Cocktail Bar couldn’t possibly get any more enticing – think again!

Not only does fable strive to serve and create the unimaginable when it comes to their cocktails, but aims to tell interesting and fascinating local stories through their series of imaginative signature cocktails where every single drink on their menu is based on a different fable.

Each signature fabled cocktail is a distinctive and exclusive creation that is the true embodiment and celebration of their collection of local fables. Developed alongside the fables, each fabled cocktail is a one-of-a-kind 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, evolving alongside Mother Nature’s four seasonal changes. This means you can always expect something new and different as the seasons change.

Taking it a step further, with every new iteration and seasonal change comes thrilling new concepts, flavours, and a creative daring complexity, adding even more depth to the original fable cocktail you once knew – forever keeping you guessing, hinting at what’s to come, and always, ALWAYS, leaving you wanting more!

“the ultimate expression of our vision – our cocktails tell stories” – fable.

**fable embodies something so unique and alluring – something you won’t find anywhere else in Cape Town or the world for that matter. This not only sets them apart, but puts them in a league of their own, undoubtedly making fable a must-visit, not-to-be-missed Cocktail Bar that should be on everyone’s Cape Town cocktail bucket list!**

fable’s cocktail list is a wonderful journey through history and fantasy alike, with each drink tying the story together. Take the Watcher of the South for example, which is all about earth warrior Umlindi Wemingizimu, represented by Scotch single malt, vanilla, citrus, aromatic bitters, and spiced pumpkin. If the beer-and-brandy-in-the-same-cocktail (Watcher of The South) doesn’t hook you, then perhaps fable’s number-one seller, The Kronendal Lovers (which accounts for half of fable’s cocktail orders), invariably will. As you may expect, all of the fable’s cocktails are inventively and creatively presented, such as the iconic Flying Dutchman in its spray paint can, and illustrations for each feature both in the menu and as murals in the bar, celebrating all fable cocktails and the fable they embody and tell.

Beer, Wine & Bubbly…

For those who aren’t head-over-heels cocktail lovers at heart, fable has you covered with a vast selection of beer, wine, and bubbly options to choose from. However, as with all things fable, you better believe that their wines, beers, and bubbly are never just wines, beers. and bubbly. We’ve had enough of them all to know that, and to discern the difference between the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. fable has personally tested and approved each option on their menu and ensured that there’s something for every palate, occasion, and celebration – from the classics and favourites to a few ‘special occasion’ choices, as well as one or two wildcards just for fun – fable has it all!

When the hunger kicks in…

If at any point the liquor has brought on a hunger or craving for something delicious, there’s a small selection of seriously enticing comfort food, cheekily curated to match your party state-of-mind. Think grilled cheese on brioche with bitters-infused butter; chicken wings sticky with a sake glaze; a vegan burger made with a Beyond Meat patty that’s hard to distinguish from their juicy Cadillac burger. You might just want to put down your drink for a moment as you tuck in; no one will judge if you don’t, though.

Its all about the fable fun…

You don’t only come to fable to drink though, oh no! You come for the vibe – and what a vibe it is indeed! Intentionally sought to provide an alternative to the rather stiff service and staid atmosphere which typically pervades most of South Africa’s great cocktail venues, fable carves a space for a younger, more upbeat crowd to experience ALL the flavours on offer. And so, like Cinderella in that well-known fairytale, when the DJ ramps up the beats later in the evening, the bar’s atmosphere goes into hyperdrive, pulses quickening as punters pivot from cocktails to vodka-Red Bulls and Jagerbombs. A serious buzz ensues.

Its therefore safe to say that people are drawn to fable not only because of their innovative cocktails which continues to push the envelope in terms of flavors and the pizzazz with which they’re created, crafted, and served, but for the entire fable experience – not to mention the spirited night out it holds in store – an exhilarating story waiting to unfold. And, like every great tale, it’s layered, multidimensional, and full of surprises – exactly the way it should be!
