    Loved this place. Great vibe. Prices are good and and the food is realy nice. Vusi is a great guy and Nannette might be the best Waiter i ever had.

    It's a good place, good location and good food. My only problem is that there is no air conditioning and it's super hot in here.

    It's a great place, I started to be uncomfortable when other customers told us to leave because we didn't belong there.

    Great place for a few beers and cocktails. Good menu and good food. Nice place to hang out day or night.

  • 4/5 Laura-lee H. 1 year ago on Google
    A "different experience". Great spot for the younger crowd. Pool tables, DJ and dance floor. Huge pub area... Vegetarian Pizza was the star 🌟 of the night... Waiter was friendly and most helpful.

  • 5/5 Lulu S. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe is great. Pizza's are basic but taste great. Lots of specials available during the week on others meals such as Burgers and steak.

  • 4/5 Craig K. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place. Atmosphere is good. Service is great. Food is ok. Management sucks though, big time! Drinks are bit pricey other than that, great hang out place.

  • 4/5 Edwill C. 11 months ago on Google
    Loved the price of the drinks, music genre was nice. Only thing is, the dj sounded like I would play my music at home of YouTube and songs would be played 1min/ 1min 30 sec tops

  • 4/5 Kaylee D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quiet Friday Night at Chicago. But usually a great place to enjoy a night out with friends

  • 4/5 Fontshe M. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice bar, very spacious with beautiful industrial design. Crowd of mix age and race. Very limited menu but fair prices on drinks makes it up.

  • 4/5 Lee F. 6 months ago on Google
    What a nice place! MJ is a great waitress. The service is excellent! And pizza was delicious. Im sure if the owners replace the cloth of the pool tables, people would enjoy it more. They are filthy. If they don't want to spend money, at least scrub them with soap and water. The balls are in nice condition except the cue ball. It even has dents. It shows that it has been used for many years. Its not like these tables are for leagues.. But just to have a nicer experience at least. Your fingertips will go black after couple of games...only reason for 4 stars and not 5.

    The service was great and the food and hubb! But it was way too hot an had to request that they put Aircons on they did thanks to our great waiter taking in consideration it was 35° outside not much less insides and said they only get put on at 6pm It's December peopl are drinking before 12 sometimes. It only happened to me once I've been there before and had and absolute jol. Only tip I can give.. People like cold drinks and cold spots. Otherwise good spot for a drink or a few!

    We had fun, loved the music,food and service. For guys over 50 we still enjoyed it, so don't be afraid to join the young ones!

  • 5/5 Letshego M. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to chill, eat and drink. Bontle is a superb service deliver, she has a great sense of humor and she is a people's person, big ups to her.

  • 5/5 Fundile K. 5 months ago on Google
    I live here. If I spent any more time they'd charge me rent. Friendliest staff, ice cold draught and all-round lekker vibes. Best on weekends. KILLER PIZZA

  • 5/5 Collin L. 4 months ago on Google
    Great service Try their steak, please😭😭😭 Barlady was on point🤞🏼 Security is great Chilled vibes at its best..

  • 4/5 hetta p. 1 year ago on Google
    Casual bar with two pool tables and a small meals menu, focused on serving drinks rather than food. Nevertheless, I had a chicken schnitzel and my companion had a Hawaian pizza, and we both enjoyed our food. The food order arrived very speedily.

  • 4/5 Chantelle C. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a sports bar, friendly staff and while watching the game you can order food which is great. During the day nice restaurant feel then from 20h00pm its more of a club vibe with loud music. My only suggestion is that they need better ventilation, because once the place gets crowded its very stuffy and extremely hot.

  • 5/5 Dizletee 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice chilled place , the pizza was amazing...service is top teir

  • 1/5 Relebohile M. 1 year ago on Google
    Limited variety to choose from. Loud music, can’t really hear the other person talking. Dirty offering of condiments. Suffice to say, I won’t be returning.👎🏽

  • 4/5 Alicha B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was great but mostly favorable under the young adults

  • 4/5 Frans T. 1 year ago on Google
    Our 2nd visit. Service was great and will recommend to friends.

  • 5/5 Spoopanoob 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a nice hang out place. You should try the Four Seasons Pizza. It's absolutely amazing unlike any other.

  • 4/5 Norman K. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is a bit of a gem with great drinks on offer and probably has some of the best pizzas I have had in ages. What really stood out was the friendliness of the waitresses we had and their willingness to see that we are well taken care of. The music here is also really good and there are ample tables to choose from since the bar is quite spacious. For people who enjoy a quiet bar where you can talk to friends without shouting, I would suggest coming during the week when it is quieter, since the place gets really loud and crowded over the weekend (or the specific weekend that I visited). My one gripe I have with this place is that there were no enforcement of COVID regulations when it got as crowded as it did. There where definitely more than a 100 people all packed together on the dance floor and maybe a handful were wearing masks. It is also an enclosed space so it made me and my colleagues quite anxious to be there, despite the great drinks, pizza and amazing service. Sanitiser was available at the entrance, but that only takes us so far.

  • 3/5 Luxolo B. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is great. Cocktails can be better Service can be a bit conditional but a pretty great place. It's very clean

  • 4/5 Thato M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Sean K. 1 year ago on Google
    Winter time is great if you want to have a quite place to just let loos. Summer is way to crowded 😐...

  • 5/5 Kagisho M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice ..friendly staff that makes you feel at home and their pizza is to die for ..and it's very clean. Bathrooms are so clean and sanitary. If you're a level headed person Chicago is the place for you

  • 4/5 Anelani N. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, mostly white people go there You will find black people there and there. If you're looking for deep house and Mapiano don't go. They sell very nice food as well. Next to it there's a pizza 🍕 place that sells slices, that is a very touch to it👌

  • 5/5 Marlinze L. 1 year ago on Google
    First time there, definitely not my last. Safe environment with great people and music!
