The Leopard Bar
Spectacular sunsets, signature cocktails, unique experiences and some of the best views in Cape Town.
Sundowners with an ocean view
Watch the sun dip beyond the Atlantic Ocean as you sip on signature cocktails from our talented mixologists. Home to some of the best sunset views in Cape Town, The Leopard Bar offers a sundowner experience you won't forget. Passionate service and a creative bar menu are accompanied by laid-back live music that sets the mood each evening.
Enjoy an impressive selection of South African wines and craft beers, inventive cocktails, and a wide collection of cognac, whisky, and port. The Leopard Bar is also a popular spot for whale watching - whales are frequently seen between July and December, with sightings of southern right whales all but guaranteed during August and November.
The classic
We start with a frozen glass, chilled to 22 degrees below. A dash of vermouth first, then gin as cold as the glass. It’s poured all the way to the rim, so there’s only one way to drink it: our trademark Egerton Slurp. Trust us – it’s the only way to avoid spilling a single drop.
We normally finish things off with a single squeeze of lemon rind, nothing more, nothing less. Times have changed since the first martinis 130 years ago though, so if you prefer vodka to gin, we’re happy to make the switch.
We strongly advise one thing; whatever the spirit, treat it gently. As far as we’re concerned, our martinis are never shaken, never stirred, always perfect.

Martini Masterclass
Our Martini Masterclass with our talented bar team is the perfect way to spend an informative and enjoyable (not to mention a delicious) hour. Sahbi will begin by explaining the history and origins of martini; tell you a little bit about his own background, and divulge his top tips in order to make the perfect martini yourself. There will be the opportunity to taste the magnificent martini creations and enjoy homemade canapés of tomato and mozzarella bruschetta, smoked salmon with crushed avocado on cape seed loaf, and coronation chicken on brown bread.
