The Drinkery

,

Cape Town CBD

Description:

Tucked away within Cape Town’s historic Heritage Square, The Drinkery is an intimate and atmospheric cocktail lounge that blends heritage charm with contemporary elegance. Set within a centuries-old building, the venue offers a cinematic backdrop perfect for scenes that call for moody sophistication, period detail, or stylish modern social settings.

The interiors are rich and layered, featuring exposed stone walls, original timber beams, and vaulted ceilings that evoke the building’s history. Soft, ambient lighting, polished wood counters, and velvet seating create a warm, dramatic environment ideal for both intimate dialogue and bustling nightlife scenes. Contemporary touches—such as curated artwork, metallic accents, and a sleek bar display—contrast beautifully with the rustic fabric of the building.

Whether used for a stylish cocktail bar setting, a hidden speakeasy, or a historic cellar bar, The Drinkery provides an adaptable and highly atmospheric filming location with a distinct Cape Town identity.
