Reviews
"Cape Town Cocktail Week was an absolute highlight — we loved every moment.
The bars were incredible, offering such a perfect mix of styles and vibes. From elegant, fancy experiences like sipping cocktails on the Mount Nelson lawn under twinkling Christmas lights, to funky inner-city bars buzzing with music and atmosphere — every stop felt special.
We soaked up breathtaking city views at a rooftop bar, laughed our way through unforgettable cocktails, and ended it all in the best way possible at the ultimate party spot, Tommy’s Chop Shop. Truly the perfect finale.
The cocktails themselves were outstanding — creative, beautifully made, and dangerously delicious. But the cherry on top was meeting the star of Cocktail Week herself, Leah van Deventer, and raising a toast to her. What a moment!
We laughed till we cried, made amazing memories, and can confidently say — we will definitely be there again next year. "
