The Fireman's Arms

The Fireman’s Arms dates back to 1864, describes itself as an English Pub and it probably comes as close as anything in the colonies does. It is festooned with old and characterful decorations (on a fire fighting theme). It is comfortable and a host of regulars prop up the bar.

Very nice old style soccer pub , the devil's pick first lager (golden ale ) on tap is unbelievably good!

Aidan de Nobrega

Always the best place to watch Formula 1 or football . Several flat-screens, a projector and surround sound make for an awesome experience. The food and coffee is also well-priced and delicious.

Rouen Smit

Great vibe. Their Thursday Quiz Nights are he best quiz nights in Cape Town. Their pizza's are enough for two people: a lot of toppings.

Good place to watch games - especially when there's two games at the same time - two screens outside!

Didn't like. Avoid. Attracts lots of Europeans when sport is on. Cheap alcohol . Smoking allowed inside.

Bangers & Mash tastes just like Mum's! Yummy.
