Famous Brew & Still

Restaurant

👍 Good place to stop for after-work drinks. Beer & gin on tap was flavourful and cold. Jalapeño poppers as a snack was more than enough. Loved the cherry twist on this old favourite. Waiter was attentive, but not irratingly so. Would love to try the rest of the menu. People often mention great, drinks, service, experience, atmosphere,

    We received such great service from the staff, we went to celebrate a friend’s birthday and to our luck, there was a Friday live performance that just added to the ambiance. The food was lovely and affordable, we had a wonderful time. They offer a tasting board for R60 that entails 5 on-tap mixes of your choice.

    Were to start with this extraordinary place. Well let's start by saying wow wow wow. It's famous alright and hopefully more famous that ever before. The restaurant has a brilliant design and set up for comfort and enjoyment for all ages. Walking in you feel immediately at home, being greeted by the friendly and energetic team of friends. It's inviting and the music suites the place better than your age fits you, saying that you feel atleast 20 years younger unless your are 20 because then you'll what to stay that age because the selection of crafts on tap is impressive to say the least. More than 20 crafts to suite any taste and you can have as taster to try some out and then make your favorite pick.( At a small fee) but That's ok because you'll what to do the taster 5 times over just to sample all they have to offer. Now let's start hehehehe.(I'll start wrapping this up). Brilliant staff. Food is exquisite and do follow the recommendation of the staff they do know best afterall. The drinks are top-class and you will find something you like. Price is right according to me. And I cannot say enough about the atmosphere. Everything is done with a dance in their step. - they do enjoy their job Only thing that I can say that's a bit of a thing but not really is parking. But hey you can walk 20m to enjoy this unbelievable place. In conclusion I do recommend this place for anyone who is looking for something different and unique , I can't seem to find these places often ,but when I do I will continue comming back everytime I am in the area or able to do so. I'm going to enjoy desert (Hopefully score a glass for my collection in the bar at home to remember this great place). Spoiler bdidbnot happen.... Make the effort when you are in the area you will not be disappointed. If only I could give more than 5 🌟 I would definitely do that. So spoil yourself and come and meet the friends down at Famous Brew and Still Now where did I put my wallet. ( Can you still Wash Dishes to pay your bill?) Thank you Kimberly fro a evening to remember.

    First of all, the service was beyond amazing it was great. The food was perfect and very big portions. The drinks were out of this world. If I had more money, I would have tipped more. The vibe is so nice that you don't want to leave. There is a barbershop and salon next to it. You can cut your hair and have a beer as a combo. Please visit this place if you want to have fun.

    Pity we where here to early and still had to drive to Krugersdorp. Would have love to have a beer tasting experience. BUT we did enjoy breakfast at this establishment. Breakfast was delicious and tasteful. Recommend the spot if you are passing by or even if you are an old resident of Bloemfontein. O and yes the photos included is there menu for the day. Something different.

    Brewery and distillery reminding of the wineries of Cape Town. Very neat and photogenic distillery with warm atmosphere. Twenty different beers on tap. Great food, great drinks, and good service.

Thank u👌🏽

    This is one of the best breakfasts I've had. The staff are extremely polite and helpful. If I lived in Bloemfontein, this would be a regular haunt. Well done everyone at the Famous Brew and Still; this is a very well run establishment with a relaxed atmosphere 😎.

  • 5/5 Bianca H. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place. Atmosphere is wonderful with smiles all round. The drinks are amazing with a very wide variety of specialty drinks I can't wait to get a bottle of when available. And the food... Oh my word the food was phenomenal! Will be visiting often. Keep up the excellence!

  • 5/5 Faure van S. 7 months ago on Google
    Love the variety of drinks and beers and some is really good! Ribeye steak one of the best I ever had in SA! The chicken wings are a bit bland and dip sauce taste like spur’s dirkey sauce. Would recommend to visit here again, even if parking might be a challenge and the entrance looks a bit odd!

  • 5/5 Nikki De Z. 8 months ago on Google
    Brilliant, thinking this should become a chain! Food.....amazing, service.....amazing, beer..... amazing!!! Well done. Really enjoyed the experience x

  • 5/5 Natasha L. 7 months ago on Google
    Was our first visit, and WOW!!!! Beautiful place! The food was incredible. And Jade our waiter, she was the sweetest thing. So hands on and went the extra mile to make our experience even more special. We had our daughter with us, there isn't a play Area but she enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you! We will most definitely be regulars.

    The nachos could be less dry and the chicken schnitzel had a lot of garlic. They have too many taps to choose from including beers and other mixes but no cocktails sadly.

    Went last year July. Worth the money, the service was friendly even if we were being served by a trainee

  • 5/5 Wouter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best food in town! Very nice selection of drinks, and the perfect atmosphere to grab a bite or to have a great time with friends. Barry was always friendly, and made us feel welcome and at home.

  • 5/5 Phano 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant vibe and menu. Prices are comparable with other non-franchise establishments in town. My group was served by Zano who proved capable, presentable, knowledgeable and adaptive. The place is usually full especially from Thursdays into the weekend so reservations are key. Limited parking is probably it's only downfall but in a quiet suburb, cars take advantage of the space and park pretty much everywhere. Love their crafts on tap. The tasting experience is a must.

  • 3/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice to have a selection of four craft beers/stouts on tap. I tried the stout and ale and they were good. Had the eisbein which was reasonable. Service was good. But very strange and uncomfortable tables/furniture which cheapened the experience somewhat.

  • 4/5 Carol C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very busy the Friday night we went. The entrance is poorly marked and we ended up going in through a gate in the fence, which we only realized afterwards was not the proper entrance. There was only space outside and it was cold, although they did provide throws to wrap around ourselves. Drinks were slow in coming. Festive atmosphere
