Lucky Shaker

“An oasis for those in search of a better experience” With a slogan like that you should already know that this bar is out to impress. Lucky Shaker in Umhlanga has this urban tropical feel to it with an emphasis on eco-friendly, seasonal drinks, and a relaxed vibe.

With floor-to-ceiling windows and walls covered in greenery help to make the place light and inviting during the day. The bar takes center stage and for good reason, the Lucky Shaker has an ever-changing chalkboard offering ridiculously good seasonal cocktails accompanied by a drinks menu with all the other delicious usuals you might find on a cocktail menu. They offer light meals and shared boards for the hungry, which helps to soak up the cocktail goodness.

Come night time things change from this light tropical environment to a more intimate feel, making the transition into evening perfect. The atmosphere is one that suits the Durban culture which is extremely laid back and chilled. Staff are attentive and friendly and if you can’t find a drink that isn’t on the menu be sure to voice it, they welcome the challenge and will get you what you want. This is truly an amazing experience that will not be found anywhere else and is well worth the visit.
