Office drinks delivered to your door ice cold, in an hour

Bar Keeper’s seamless service. Order 1 special drink or enough for a whole party

Corporate cocktails, office Friday drinks, and even hump day Wine Wednesday (yes it’s a thing) doesn’t have to be a schlep to organise. Because Bar Keeper, Cape Town’s seamless service liquor store, delivers ice cold within an hour (within a 6km radius).

And because they have a van for deliveries (not just a scooter), you can get anything from a few specialty bottles of wine to boxes of booze.

BROWSE FOR MIXERS AND MOCKTAILS

Not everyone drinks, so it helps that Bar Keeper has a variety of non-alcoholic beers, like And Union craft or classics like Heineken; alcohol-free gins, including The Duchess; plus a variety of non-alcoholic wines. 

There’s cocktail mixers too, like El Burro cordials and a range of tonic waters. Add life to your cocktails with El Burro Chipotle & Lime Salt (or on top of tortilla chips, which they sell too).

ORDER IN, OR GO TO THE STORE – IT’S AN EXPERIENCE

The convenience of Bar Keeper is the winner, but, if you are close, you should know that buying from the store is quite the experience. Also there’s a large, secured, parking bay opposite the entrance (that’s free for the first 15 minutes)

Each display in the store, categorised with metallic gold signage above each shelf, is impeccably organised by themes. This is so you can meander through the spacey aisles.

Along the far sides are walk-in fridges, one stocked from floor-to-ceiling with craft beers. Another, with copper lighting hanging above a display table with a bright bouquet of flowers, has a range of Champagne, bubbly and wine from the Cape Winelands and abroad.

Bar Keeper is located next door to popular Marco’s African Place. Image: Bar Keeper Image: Bar Keeper

PICK UP CUPS + PAPER PLATES FOR OFFICE PARTY

There also is a selection of party items in the store, like plastic cups, paper plates and ice. And Bar keeper’s nifty gifting section will give you ideas for your next celebration. 

You can even gift someone something special wrapped by a Bar Keeper in store, in gold, black or silver paper, and delivered with a sparkler at no extra cost.
