A small cosy hangout joint. We had an office get together and though the other tables were occupied we were the biggest group. The drinks had a good variety and innovative. I had the beer on the tap which was good. I saw the ladies were enjoying their Blush. The starters had a good variety. The wait staff did not bother us. The music was good but not overwhelming the conversations. As we sat there quite late so some of us ordered dinner. I ordered the deluxe burger on recommendation and I must say you cannot be disappointed. The tacos looked weird and the taco was small and the fillings were quite a lot. Be aware for the restroom you need to pass a car park.
Overall good experience for small get togethers.
Amazing service with even better food and drink - a must visit! The interaction is professional, food spot on and they defiantly promote the drinks - spend a few hours going through the cocktail menu, you don’t need to be walking when you leave there’s always Uber!
So I finally got to try this spot out. I was not disappointed at all!! I had the Deluxe burger & my friend had the chicken one. We ultimately had half of each because we were both saying how delicious our burgers were😋😋. The burgers are really some of the best I’ve had! The ambiance is also so amazing! All in all a great vibe
Not the slickest cocktail bar decor and set in a business area with limited other bars or eateries nearby, Lucky Shaker is possibly the best cocktail bar I’ve been to based on purely their cocktails. Their blends are exceptionally well crafted and presented, with subtleties in their flavors and never overpowered by any one element.
These guys definitely know the meaning of QUALITY. perfectly blended cocktails to suit any occasion. And the lamb taco and crackling pork make great accompaniments!

Best cocktails in town! Food is pretty average and the vibe is really awesome however stay clear on a Friday night because younger folk come in...
A really unique range of cocktails; I'd recommend The Antidote. The lamb tacos are incredible as a starter and the burgers are great too.
The ambiance is similar to that of a classic New York bar and the service is the best that one could wish for. One of Durban's gems.
Quick and easy. Always a good crowd. Great tasting cocktail. Pretty small menu, opt for the bacon burger. Could do with some music but a great vibe for after work drinks.
Hidden away amongst what seems to be office blocks and apartments, Lucky Shaker is a cosy spot with a great vibe. After finding it on Zomato, the good rating prompted me to go try it out. The dark-ish interiors make this place a good sundowner/ evening drinks place as they are known for their long list of cocktails. Unlike other eating establishments where waiters give you recommendation and specials on food, their waiters give you their specials/ recommendations on cocktails! Amazing! Their cocktail menu also helps you decide, by splitting it up into sections, ranging from fruity to strong! Their food menu is somewhat limited and the taco portions are small (2 small-ish tacos per portion and pricy on that account) so make sure to add some snack boards to your order. Wait staff is friendly and energized. Will come back!
My favourite cocktails in 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
My favourite cocktail bar! Modern decor with comfy seating and handbag hooks! Friendly and trained staff that help you decide what to try next on their inventive menu if you're as indecisive as me.
Their menus are updated every few weeks and serve a refreshing change to the standard set of cocktails and mixes you find at restaurants and bars. Perfect for a night out with friends, a casual dinner or a date. Good food, good drinks, good vibes!
A Nice variety of original cocktails and drinks. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for something a bit more unique than your standard GnT or mojito.
The cocktails are well made and don’t taste watered down or syrupy. You get what you pay for.
Food items on the menu offer a good choice of finger foods or something a bit more substantial like a burgers etc.
The waiter/barman was friendly and seemed like a genuinely good person.
What can I say.... After two years away from Durban this place is now twice as big with no kids in quality of the cocktails. They've got a few new ones in the menu now, but some of the old cocktails have survived.
Nothing disappoints, the food is as good as ever. If you don't know what to choose in terms of cocktails speak to the experienced bar tenders and they'll pick something for you at they clearly love the art of mixology.
Atmosphere and service is great.
Tikka burger was slightly disappointing as it tasted more like Sriracha mayo. Would like to see more authenticity with this.
Would like to try other dishes on their menu.
Drinks are readily available - from basic to high end.
Staff are friendly and welcoming.
Great vibe to come and socialise with friends or even work colleagues. Great food especially there tacos, served with flavours that you will enjoy for days. Drinks wise you can be assured that what ever you order to drink from there specialties list will be great. Freshly prepared craft drinks on offer.
Thank you to Kaylan , Tristan and the team at Lucky Shaker we hired the venue for a private function and it was an absolutely amazing evening from the food to the cocktails and most especially the service , I would give this venue a 10/10.👌
The cocktails are literally an experience every person needs. They will tailor anything you want, the great drinks are the Shark Juice and something called a super C shooter. Do not ever order the pork crackling, it is bad. But their chicken nachos and chicken strips are excellent!
Trendy decor and ambience. The menu is nice and refreshing with a new take on classic cocktails as well as new cocktails with good flavour combinations.
The nachos were good and service friendly.
Chilling at Lucky Shaker is such a vibe.
The staff are incredible!
We've has some of the most delicious cocktails here
We had such an awesome time here. The food was tasty. The drinks were good but the service was amazing! I would go back simply because of the amazing service. Its such a nice cozy place to wind down on the weekdays and it's even more vibrant and full of life over the weekends. Awesome place!
