Bascule Bar is an intimate whisky and cocktail bar inspired by Cape Town’s contemporary speakeasy culture, offering guests a sensory journey into the spirit of the Cape. Situated on the edge of the marina at Cape Grace, a Fairmount managed hotel, with its stunning waterfront setting and elegant long bar, creates the perfect backdrop for memorable evenings—from laid-back cocktail hours to jazz-accompanied conversations over rare 20-year-old Scotch. A favourite among locals and travellers alike, Bascule combines refined style with the tranquil charm of the marina.
