    Went on a quiet night I guess. Seemed like an okay place. Will try a busier night to get a better feel for the vibe.

    The bartenders at Tin Roof are racist. I understand the pressure of working in food service, but there's a difference between being under pressure and just not wanting to serve Black and Brown people. We stood at the bar for over 30 minutes just to order 2 glasses of wine because everyone else was getting served before us. Everyone in the pic I attached was ignored for half an hour, especially by the bartender in the other attached pic. He just looked at us then directed his attention to a white person. We only had one Tin Roof employee who showed any concern for us the whole time we were there, and she was clearly assigned to cleaning up tables, but she checked on us multiple times to make sure we'd get our food. The waiters all ignored us the whole time. Everyone except ONE person at Tin Roof treated us like we weren't there. I'm visiting Zim for the first time in four years from Europe, and honestly, white people in Europe treat us so much better than white people in Zimbabwe. That's wild to me.... Experiencing more racism in my own country than abroad... But that's what y'all do, right? That's what y'all do. Thanks for making it clear to us where we stand.

    The foood is really tasty! I was pleasantly surprised. I had to exit y review because I’ve been going to Tim for lunch every week for almost 3months and the last two visits they have cut their serving size down:( i still really recommend their battered bake (it’s honestly the best battered fish I’ve ever eaten), their rump steak is also really delicious. And my two personal faves is their homemade chili sauce and their side salad it’s just very well prepared and thoughtfully considered. I find myself here every two weeks so trust me… photos will show what it used to be and what it is now

    Great place to go on a Wednesday for quiz night (ends at 9pm) or on a weekend to party it up! Tends to stay open until 2am with a DJ on the weekend. Lots of fun, affordable drinks and a great atmosphere to catch up with friends.

    Its a great place though, to watch games big screen, its cosy and intimate the way sitting is arranged. parking is plenty. Dont go here if you love local content, you may leave the place and not heard one song, not even a Jah prayzah song. if you have a taste for swedish house mafia type of music, you will have a lit time. i love it for that. craft beer is pump priced, but pricey for other stuff. 500ml organic fresh orange juice is $3. you have to go get your drinks yourself. kitchen closes at 9pm. its a nice vibe bar, the djs are good but narrowly selective. color is white. You will find Smith and Rhodes ten times before you meet Tapiwa.

    Can be very noisy due to popularity, not recommended for work meetings, rather social with friends and colleagues. Great Pizza , very very hot spices available.

    Hangout with mature crowd. Their televisions should have more viewing options for sport for clients on a Saturday.

    I am biased, as I have many a fond memory of this place, having frequented it numerous times between its opening and 2017. I revisited in December 2022 for the first time since Tin-Roof-regular my late-father died in 2021, and the owner (whose name escapes me) remembered him and gave me a double of my father's old favourite on the house. Separate to this, the bar staff are friendly and efficient, the drinks cold, cheap and fast, and the atmosphere is great. It's a no-frills, says-what-it-is-on-the-box kind of place. Enjoy.

    Absolutely top tier atmosphere. We had chicken and ribs and that was phenomenal. Especially the ribs. But the pizza bases we had were not great, they were more akin to large crackers than pizza bases. Lastly, bring a fat wallet, you'll need it. The alcohol prices are on the higher side

  • 4/5 Tawanda M. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a decent place for a night out, with some very nice food. A few gripes I have were with how big the tables are. Not so good for a smaller party of revellers. Moreover, I wish they had more signage to help find the place. It was totally hidden!

  • 1/5 Melissa G. 4 years ago on Google
    Barman swipes bank cards for 5 times the price of your drinks and thinks you won't notice... And to Top It Off they drink while working behind the bar and 1 Barman even stole my bank card and was to drunk to even remember he served me and I have had to block my card.... GREAT Venue and Vibe but Bad management with regards to drunk Barman working and them over charging...

    Exceptional vibe. The best in Harare by far. Wonderful meeting place and culinary delights with a special shop

  • 1/5 The Muradzikwa f. 2 years ago on Google
    It was terrible, i am saying this in all honesty. Me and my family waited for 2 hours and 30 minutes just for our food to come. They kept on saying 8 minutes but it was just 3 salads, calamari and chips which takes 10 minutes to cook, one chicken strips and chips and a pizza. I think they should speed up their service

  • 4/5 Randah 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best spots i’ve been, perfect for a group outing. I loved it!

  • 2/5 Tapuwa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to wait 1 and a half hours for my order. People who came after me got their orders first(perhaps because they were regulars). Food was okay. Maybe could have tasted better if we were served on time and weren't upset already.

  • 4/5 Agnes A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice open area bar, plenty parking. Service was good. Place can get packed .... Hoping that there is a plan to extend or add to number of convenience rooms. Queuing for your turn to go is not such a great experience. But good place. 👍
