Harare Beer Engine

Restaurant β€’ Bar

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Located under the Jamieson Hotel, though not part of it. Proper English style pub that also houses a brewery that started in 1997. They have hand pumps (beer engines) but not in use on our visit - keg only. Just picking up after the Covid years and had 4 beers on for out visit. 2 a bit experimental... People often mention beer, good,

    Located under the Jamieson Hotel, though not part of it. Proper English style pub that also houses a brewery that started in 1997. They have hand pumps (beer engines) but not in use on our visit - keg only. Just picking up after the Covid years and had 4 beers on for out visit. 2 a bit experimental for my taste, but a decent blonde and porter too. Food available on in-house concession.

    Classy and exclusive. Albeit a little pricey. A place to mix with the right sort of crowd...

    More for locals than foreigners. Cheap beers available. Food served as we from the canteen. Lively on weekends. $3 entry for men. Not really worth it though

    It's a great place to spend Friday nights

  • 4/5 Kundai M. 4 years ago on Google
    Talk about a good time with friends and family and an ice cold beer in your hand. Pricing is a major issue for some but I guess it's a place for a specific target market. Really enjoyed their brew 😊.

  • 5/5 rexford m. 4 years ago on Google
    Lots of entertainment excitement in the bar people enjoying themselves Friday evening. The bars serves cold beers, spirits and soft drinks. Want to party and while away time, this is the place to be.

    Upgrade upgrade upgrade Thats all is needed here Not so cosy So negleted. Overpriced drinks. Slow service. I understand the place attracts a mature age group, perhaps its for memory reasons but where its located i think its wise to look into a face lift.

  • 3/5 Raphael S. 5 years ago on Google
    A drinking spot in the cbd near the Jameson hotel. Sells draught beer mostly. Mostly frequented by the young generation over the weekends. The place is now slightly old and needs upkeep. I wouldn't recommend it to the older guys except just catching a beer on your way home. The inside design is unique with beer barrels all over the place and old photos on walls. Draught beer sold is very affordable and a place to go if you have a tight budget. Taxis and commuter omnibus are within walking distance.
