Critic's review
Diane de Beer
Food
Breakfast features options like ‘crafty omelettes’ and a Pommy Brunch, with eggs, bacon, saucy mushrooms, baked beans, grilled cherry tomatoes and toast.
The exotic names on the list of hamburgers include The Mighty Warlock, No-Bro and Pineapple Express, with ingredients such as panko-crumbed chicken breast and Pringle chips. A recent addition to the menu are halloumi oyster mushroom fries – pulled mushrooms on a bed of halloumi, fresh guacamole and a tomato salsa. The oil content is sometimes overwhelming.
In keeping with the general style, desserts include a classic waffle served with chocolate ice cream and chocolate-pistachio truffles, and the Rock & Road ice cream coffee, consisting of strong frozen coffee served with a roasted macadamia and honey-coated chocolate wafer.
Drinks
With an ever-expanding repertoire, beer is king in this joint. Alternatively, choose from the adventurous wine list, do fun beer and gin tastings, or check out the selection of Venezuelan and Philippine rums.
Service
Service is sweet, with lots of individual attention and information given when needed.
Ambience
The beerhall vibe – in the best sense of the word – varies according to the time of day and week. The outside area is inviting when the weather’s good, which is often.

Fantastic tasting food! The variety is insane and the portions are great! One burger meal and you're stuffed (the good kind) and ready for a nap. Grace, our waitress, was so sweet, we loved her service. The only downside is that they were out of a lot of the drinks we wanted to order, sadly. It's a lekker place, but mainly student prone, which is good for business I bet, but not my kind of vibe. It also gets packed to the max so book early.

A firm favourite and go-to after work restaurant. Added bonus is the rugby broadcast, ALL the beers and proper pub food. Excellent, good quality food and very vibey restaurant.

Great place to hang around, relax and spend time with friends. The service is something they can definitely improve on. If you aren't eating the best option is actually just to go to the bar yourself and not wait on waiter service. Food is good - give the jalapeno poppers a try! All round best place to casually spend time with friends in Pretoria area.
