Great beer. Must say this is very good beer. The beer tasting is R65 and you can taste 4 250ml beers. Worth trying and doing.

On Wednesday we went for the burger special. R120 for 2 burgers and NO chips. They are tiny and like a quick bite smash burger. Very tasty and good, just a little bit small.

Service was super good. Atmosphere is amazing.
Will definitely go back for a beer and event.

The best brewery in the South with a great variety of different beers. Menu is very simple and easy to select a meal. Execution of the meals are hundred percent pub vibes with the freshest ingredients. The nachos and burgers are my go to.

After feeling like a toot and company I made the mistake of visiting on a Monday. It seems the more jovial days or business as a restaurant/pub days are Wednesday to Saturday,  not that obvious on their Google description and I did check several times otherwise I wouldn't have tried to visit on that Monday. So I tried again on a Friday afternoon, there seems to be 4 dedicated parking spots and those were full, but a security guard from a next door business suggested I park across the road and that was fine. Upon entering I was met with rows of tables occupied by a lot more people that could possibly fit into four cars, the place was packed and it isn't small. The service was above average by enthusiastic and helpful staff (Cheali my waitress) . The two beers made there that I tried were wonderful and the pork ribs, delicious. I look forward to my next visit and it is in my neighborhood.

Popped in for their Wednesday burger special. What a deal - good value for money and the food is AMAZING. Good, cold beer. Nice atmosphere with a great playlist on. Service could be a bit better. While we were greeted and seated promptly, and food and drink arrived quickly, we would have liked our waitress to start by explaining the burger special, and she was not very attentive. It was not particularly busy at this time (we were 1 of 4 tables), but I think she may have been the only waitress on duty, so perhaps this was the issue. As first timers, I also would have liked to hear more about their range of beer or if they offer a beer tasting. Nevertheless, I will definitely be back.

UPDATE: I returned a couple of weeks later for their Wednesday burger special again. Food is just as good, the special is such good value for money. Our waiter started by explaining the burger special which was great. He was absolutely wonderful and very good at upselling! He won over my fifth star I'm just sorry I did not get his name. I'll be visiting again with friends very soon!

Really tasty burgers and great price. Service was acceptable but needs a bit of attention to detail. Drinks menu is disappointing if you don't drink beer. Maybe a rock shandy or even a passion fruit and soda?
