lucky shaker

these guys definitely know the meaning of quality. perfectly blendedcocktailsto suit any occasion. and the lamb taco and crackling pork make great accompaniments!

popped in forcocktailsafter a gin festival...there was an excellent vibe but didn’t appreciate the bouncer at the door who was picky about letting certain people in. thecocktailswere delicious and the bar tenders are efficient at making complex cocktails.

bestcocktailsin town! food is pretty average and the vibe is really awesome however stay clear on a friday night because younger folk come in...

my favouritecocktailsin umhlanga. from their cocktail menu which caters for all tastes, to their weekly specials, like the gin of the week, this place has the wonderful drinks. the service is also great, with friendly staff. the food menu which is predominantly burgers, is also decent, however probably not the reason why this place is so popular

lucky shaker has become my families go-to cocktail bar in umhlanga and with good reason. there's a great vibe, amazing cocktails, and good food all under one roof.
word of advice: come early. this is a popular venue and the seats fill up quickly so if you plan on coming in a group of six or more people i recommend getting there timeously.
my favourite part of the evening was definitely the cocktails. the cocktail menu is diverse, original and ranges from fruity to strong. there is also a chalkboard with alternativecocktailswritten on it that change more frequently than those on the menu. i personally like the fruitycocktailsand adored all of the ones i tried (if only i could remember their names!).
the food is also a hit. we ordered a variety of meals ranging from the starter nachos to burgers. while everyone really enjoyed their meal we found the nachos to be underwhelming. the burgers looked particularly delicious and well prepared.
the only thing i could really critique is that there is not a bathroom in the venue: you have to leave and walk to a separate part of the building when you need the loo.
overall we had a great time fueled by amazingcocktailsand i cannot wait to return.

one of the best burger joints in town.

the burgers are out of this world amazing. handmade from scratch. limited menu of burgers and tacos, but great quality.

allcocktailsare from from scratch with squeezed juices and homemade syrups. a unique list with high quality drinks.

definitely a favorite casual spot in umhlangs

greatcocktailswith loads to choose from... staff are really friendly .. tacos are small but absolutely delicious!!!!!! you can also watch your food being prepared :) will be back

lucky shaker is a trendy cocktail bar located in the hub of umhlanga. it is quite small but it's very accommodating to all guests. young adults find it a lovely go to for a drinks (or drinks) after work with friends or colleagues or for pre drinks before a big night out!

my friends and i visited lucky shaker earlier on this year and quite enjoyed their food and drinks, even though it was very busy! they offered a wide selection ofcocktailsand the waiters were friendly while advising on which one to try according to our specifications. we were each happy with our selection. my friends ordered burgers as a main meal and i tried their lamb taco. their food was of s good standard however the burgers were a bit dry. i would definitely go back to try more of their cocktails.

i think i have found my favourite place north of the umgeni river :)
this spot is super cool with great food. i had the crumbed chicken taco- perfect for a light meal and their homemadecocktailsare also amazing!!! service is wonderful with a lovely overall vibe and ambiance! killing it!

definitely a hidden gem.cocktailsare on point and the burgers and tacos keep me coming back for more. best place to chill with friends. the staff are ever so hospitable.
