StrangeLove Cocktail Lounge

StrangeLove Cocktail Lounge is a refined spirits bar nestled in the mezzanine of Hope Distillery in Salt River, Cape Town, featuring the distillery's own small-batch, hand-distilled spirits including vodka, gin, agave spirit, rhum agricole, and an African amaro. Designed with pared-back Scandinavian furnishings in dark hues accented by lush greenery and wooden finishes, the intimate space offers bird's-eye views across the distillery's gleaming copper stills. A resident mixologist named Decks curates a carefully considered cocktail menu available exclusively Thursday and Friday from 5pm to 10:30pm, with limited seating of 30 guests per night and reservations strongly recommended. The bar offers refined small plates and snacks pairing alongside cocktails in a sophisticated, open-plan setting.
