Located in the heart of Pretoria, Blue Room Hatfield is a versatile establishment that transforms from a sports bar during the day to a lively club at night. The two-story venue boasts stylish decor including leather chairs, neon signs, and hanging lights. During the day, patrons can enjoy live sports while sipping on beer, and at night, they can dance to hip-hop and pop music or attend DJ nights.
Absolutely love the vibe at Blue Room Hatfield! The Castle Lager-themed setup gives the whole place a unique and fun energy — perfect for a chill hangout or a night out with friends. They’ve got great drink specials that definitely keep the good times flowing without breaking the bank. One thing that really stood out to me was the bathroom signs — hilarious! I didn’t get a pic this time, but I’m definitely snapping one on my next visit. Also, shoutout to my favourite waitress, Boipelo — her service is always on point, super friendly and professional. Can’t wait to go back!

Guests can enjoy the elegant decor both indoors and at the outdoor seating area overlooking the city.

Been there again. Not disappointed at all. Amazing atmosphere. Pleasant hosts. I booked a few fays in advance. On the evening of my booked date, I was running late. When I called them, they immediately knew who I was and addressed me by name. I was taken aback by surprise. Not only me but my family too. I felt at ease. When we got there we were warmly greeted. The host Scott, top of his game. Bless you Scott. Wandile the waitron, brilliant. They always made sure we taken care off and that we were happy and staisfied. They went beyond of what you would expect. Food was awesome as always. Consistency. Thank you, Team Summit, for an awesome evening.

The food was really underwhelming, and cold. The atmosphere and customer service were okay. But the food was a bit disappointing.
Jessica M — Google review
My friend and I went to Summit Grill today without knowing they had two events happening and that the restaurant would be so busy. We only found out when the waiter told us, and we understood things might take longer because of that. However, we had a really disappointing experience. The waiter was rushing around attending to the event guests, and we could barely find him when we needed him. When we gave him that feedback, he got defensive and seemingly annoyed at us. At first, we weren’t planning to order food but later changed our minds, which I believe should be completely okay. Instead of feeling welcomed, the waiter got upset, saying he had already asked us three times if we wanted to order. We were still deciding, and his rude attitude made us feel so uncomfortable and if it wasn’t for my friend, I would have left immediately. Another thing that bothered me is that we also had to wait a very long time just to get something as simple as a teaspoon. I understand busy days are tough, but customers shouldn’t have to suffer poor service because of that. I really hope Summit Grill can hire more staff or manage bookings better during events so guests don’t feel overlooked or rushed.

Great new manager. After a mistake on their side, he apologized profusely and provided me the requested food (which was actually no longer available) on the house! Really appreciate this kind of effort to resolve disputes - and I would definitely regurn to this establishment knowing they are doing their best to provide a good experience for their customers. To the manager on shift last night around 6pm for the graduation party - Thank you! I appreciate your effort.

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience here. My phone was stolen during my visit on the night of May 31st to June 1st. Despite realizing it immediately, the staff offered no help, did not call the police, and showed zero responsibility. I was left shocked, helpless, and without my phone. Extremely disappointed with the lack of security and customer care. I do not feel safe recommending this place.

Pub food not really my thing, but really enjoyed this outing indeed.... Our waiter was knowledgeable knew his menu and specials, great service overall received.... Maybe time for some new wine glasses ... can't drink wine from gin glass but small things that need some attention. Food was tasty....fresh.. and well presented. Chicken mushroom burger - personal preference maybe leave the 1000 own made island sauce off makes bun soggy and falls apart.... but this just own preference, very tasty can't falt. T-Bone.... well prepared and veggies were awesome something different indeed The extra sauce- maybe consider bigger portion for just not enough, just a thought. But over all.... enjoyed the atmosphere 👌 Will we be back - most definitely loved the menu need to come and try some of those starters.... Jalapeños poppers and all! Your menu sure does cater for all which is awesome!

Used to love this place, haven’t visited in a while, seems it got a bit expensive for the amount of food we received. Service was great, she really went out of her way for us. Deserts was great, had all of them and shared across the table, the peppermint tart is a bit funky as it was very gelatin heavy. Food is great just pricey vs portion size.

Waiters are friendly, and waiting time is standard. The food is good, and the vibes are great. The venue is well decorated and interesting. The restaurant itself is way more memorable than the actual food. The waitress recommended the spinach and feta balls, but it was dense, not well seasoned, and couldn't find any feta. It's not something I would order again. The pizza I'd give an 8 out of 10 and the pastas a 7. The last time I ate there, I had the butternut soup and mild peri peri chicken wings, which was AMAZING! Definitely going to order that again. The bathrooms could maybe use some upgrades in several areas and proper cleaning Whisk is good for meeting up with friends, special events like baby and bridal showers, business meetings, birthday parties, and romantic dates. It's an all-rounder

The place normally attracts a party crowd later into the evening and becomes rather busy but each to their own when it comes to joining or not. They also offer a nice food selection, from meals to baskets, something to eat before going crazy with the drinks. Overall a great place to come unwind.

#ThePaperPlaneProject roadshow continues in Pretoria. Attending the launch party for Bok van Blerk's Delarey Brandy at The View in Pretoria was an experience that transcended the ordinary, leaving a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to be there. It was a night where history, culture, and a sense of community intertwined beautifully, painting a vivid picture of South African heritage. Perched atop one of Pretoria's scenic hills, The View offered breathtaking panoramas that seemed to stretch into infinity, a perfect metaphor for the rich and expansive history we were there to celebrate. The venue’s design was stunning, with every detail meticulously thought out, from the beautiful sunset vistas to the perfectly placed lights that created an enchanting atmosphere. It’s an ideal setting for photo shoots, capturing the magic of the moment. The event felt like a dinner party with friends where stories were shared, each one adding depth to the experience. Bok van Blerk’s Delarey Brandy is more than just a drink; it's a tribute to the indomitable spirit of General Koos de la Rey, a symbol of resilience and leadership during the Anglo-Boer War. As we raised our glasses, we were not merely toasting a new brandy but honoring the legacy of a man who stood for courage and integrity in the face of adversity. During the speeches, I was moved by the passion for history and the art of crafting a gentleman's drink. Though I am not typically a brandy fan, I do enjoy a cognac every now and then. Curiosity led me to ask the waiter for coffee beans, which I smelled and chewed to cleanse my palate. Swirling the brandy in my glass, I took a moment to savor its aroma before taking a sip. The taste of Delarey Brandy was beautiful on the palate, sparking a wild array of ideas for new recipes, perhaps something I would concider using in my upcoming memoir cookbook. The stories shared by each speaker about what the bottle means to them enhanced the experience, creating a beautiful sense of connection and shared heritage. It was heartwarming to see the passion and camaraderie among fellow South Africans, united by this exquisite beverage. The launch was not about division but about understanding and appreciating the diverse threads that make up the fabric of South African history. It was a call to remember where we come from and to draw strength from our collective heritage. The food at The View was equally impressive, complementing the evening perfectly. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment of the night. In essence, the launch of Bok van Blerk’s Delarey Brandy was a celebration of unity, resilience, and the power of storytelling. It was a night where we looked back with reverence and forward with hope, inspired by the legacy of those who came before us. I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing The View and tasting Delarey Brandy, not just for their exceptional quality but for the deep sense of connection and pride they evoke in every sip. Thank you to Bok van Blerk and his team for creating a high-quality beverage that embodies both potential and heart. Congratulations on a fantastic launch, and may Delarey Brandy continue to inspire and bring people together.

We had a small party of four celebrating my soon-to-be sister-in-law's upcoming wedding, and we were so excited for a fun night at The View. We were a few minutes late for our reservation, but we notified the restaurant in advance through their WhatsApp booking channel. Despite our notification, when the first person from our party arrived, she was told that our table had been given away. When the rest of us arrived, we were told the same thing, despite having notified them in advance that we were 15min minutes late. We were then seated at a table at the furthest point of the bar. As the night went on, we got colder and colder. The other tables in the bar had heaters and were protected from the cold by vertical shade nets, but we had no such protection. The single heater in our vicinity was too far away to provide any warmth. When our server checked on us, I told her we were freezing. She simply apologized and said no other tables were available, making no effort to find a solution like moving the heater closer. At that point, it was clear we were not a priority, so we just asked for the bill and left. It’s unacceptable to be treated with such a careless attitude. On top of that, the stairs leading to the restaurant are a hazard; they don't look like they meet the minimum tread of 250mm required by building regulations, making it very dangerous and easy to slip and fall coming down those stairs. I would never recommend this bar to anyone.

Ok, so obviously the best thing about this place is the location, it's located about 5 floors up, so one has incredible views around 240 degrees. The pizza was actually very good as was the mezze platter. Service was efficient and friendly, the menu is not huge but there is a nice variety of choices. A lovely option for sundowners etc.
Jonathan D — Google review
it’s definitely a great place to enjoy a sundowner—especially if you’re into gin cocktails. The vibe is relaxed and the views are lovely. That said, the food menu was quite limited, with mostly pizza, sushi, and a few snack options. If you’re looking for a proper dinner spot, this might not be the place, but it’s perfect for drinks and a light bite with friends.

Café Barcelona has long been a beloved spot in Colbyn, attracting a vibrant mix of students, musicians, and locals. This intimate venue on Thomas Street is celebrated for its relaxed ambiance and commitment to showcasing local talent through live music performances. From Wednesday to Friday, guests can unwind with acoustic tunes while savoring delicious pizzas and Portuguese dishes. The weekends bring even more excitement with local artists performing a blend of acoustic, R&B, and folk music that perfectly complements the laid-back vibe.
Can't tell you enough how lovely the staff and owners are. They're pizza is fantastic and I was lucky enough to host my music school's year-end function there. Would also recommend it for family lunches or dinners.

The food was good we had pizza but they came out one at a time with about 5 to 10 min between pizzas. The restaurant wasnt busy.

Café Barcelona: Where Good Food Meets Soulful Vibes I’ve known the owners of Café Barcelona for years, and it’s more than just a café—it’s a place where you feel transported the moment you step in. Sitting outside under the shade of purple jacarandas, with the beautiful white Cape Dutch-style building in the background, you’re carried away to another world. The live acoustics inside set the perfect tone, and you can’t help but sit in awe as the music stirs something deep within you. This is the ultimate gathering spot for like-minded individuals, where you connect over good food, great company, and some of the best talent South Africa has to offer. I often find myself outside on the step, feeling like part of the furniture, embraced by the warmth of the owners and staff. The bathrooms are always spotless, and let’s not forget the food—every single dish on their menu is my favorite. The owner pours heart and soul into every meal, and it shows in each bite. Café Barcelona is not just a place to eat; it’s where memories are made, friendships are strengthened, and where you leave feeling inspired and full—both in body and spirit.

The venue is smaller than expected, but the atmosphere is great. Nice pizza! Saw Radio Kalahari Orkes live, great performance. The small size of the venue means there are less people, so it's easier to chat with the performers during breaks or after the show.

Bosvelder Pub & Restaurant is a family restaurant that offers traditional South African dishes as well as steak and ribs. The food was fresh and flavoursome, and the service was attentive and professional. Special weekday specials were out of this world, making Bosvelder a great choice for any meal.
We were on our way to Pretoria and just Googled a place to stop over for lunch. This was a good surprise! The restaurant was already quite full and we were greeted by the owner and served by friendly staff. Although the menu is in Afrikaans and with the help of the waitress and my very limited Afrikaans we ordered a traditional soup, ribs and a burger. The soup and ribs are highly recommended!

Bosvelder in Centurion is one of those restaurants that really captures the essence of a vibrant, local hangout spot. The first thing you notice when you arrive is the welcoming atmosphere, and the friendly staff only add to the positive first impression. Service here is warm and attentive, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The food is pretty good, and the menu offers a wide variety of options to suit just about any taste. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal, a quick bite, or something to go with your drinks, you’ll find it here. The portions are generous, and the flavors hit the spot without being overly complicated. It’s the kind of place where you can stick to your favorites or try something new without worrying about being disappointed. One of the highlights at Bosvelder is definitely the drinks. They often have specials that make an evening out feel affordable, and the drinks menu itself is extensive, catering to both casual sippers and those looking for something a little stronger. The atmosphere can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which adds to the lively vibe. It’s not only a great place for singles to enjoy a fun night out, but also perfectly suited for couples and families. Families are a common sight here, which speaks to its versatility as a venue that welcomes everyone. In terms of pricing, it really depends on what you order. Some items are very affordable, while others fall into the pricier side, but overall it’s fair value for what you get. Overall, Bosvelder is a well-rounded Centurion favorite – friendly staff, tasty food, good specials, and a buzzing atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

I love that it is also family oriented, where there are sections for families and other sections where kids are not allowed due to smoking. On some occasions they have live bands there, and if not they play good music. I think my favourite part is the staff/ management as they are always helpful, very friendly, create awesome vibes and just giving their best!

PRIVA is a sophisticated fine dining venue that offers a blend of contemporary style and luxurious ambiance. It provides indoor and outdoor dining options, live jazz music, and a diverse humidor for an inviting and memorable experience. The restaurant participates in the annual Restaurant Week, offering its menu at reduced prices for lunch or dinner with pre-booked seats.
What an incredible experience! We celebrated our anniversary with the 5-course tasting menu—and it absolutely delivered. Every dish was flawless, and the wine pairings were nothing short of impeccable. Our server, Friday, was attentive, knowledgeable, and walked us through each course in a way that elevated the entire meal. The ambiance was perfect. The live band playing inside was just the right volume—enough to add charm, without overpowering conversation. And if you’re a cigar fan, don’t miss the cigar room—it’s a lovely touch. Thank you, Priva, for such a memorable evening. This was easily among the best meals I’ve ever had—I can’t wait to return.

Priva was surely a treat with some highs and lows. The food was fantastic! Platings were beautiful, food was freshy prepared on your request and it tasted delicious! It was a real treat. The restaurant ambiance was a bit of a letdown. Outside, the heat was unbearable (probably because of the heat wave), and the inside was a lot cooler. The restaurant inside had a distinct smell of cigar or cigarette smoke, which I did not find pleasant. The windows and sliding doors were also really dirty. It really needed a good clean.

A Genuine Apology & Commitment to Better Service After my disappointing experience at Priva, I was deeply moved when the owner personally reached out to apologize. He took full accountability, assured me this was not their standard, and extended a sincere offer to host my son and me again—not as a mere correction, but as a genuine effort to make things right. I truly appreciate the time he took to listen, acknowledge the situation, and restore our trust. His humility, professionalism, and commitment to his guests set him apart. This level of care is rare, and I deeply respect him for it. I will be returning for another visit and a fresh review, and after that conversation, I have no doubt it will be a great experience. It’s not just about food—it’s about how a business values and treats its guests, and his thoughtful gesture has already left a lasting impression. Thank you again for your sincerity and for proving that true hospitality is about heart ❤️

Priva offers a wonderful culinary experience specializing in pairing their dishes with exquisite wines. The space is well utilised with both inside and outside seating as well as boasting with a cigar lounge for those who choose to indulge in them whilst enjoying a good whiskey or other drink alike. The atmosphere is delightful with good lighting, well spaced tables and the best of service from their waiters and sommeliers. They offer a wide selection of wines from their cellar as well as a large variety of cigars from their humidor. The cumulative experience is one resembling the lotus-eaters and one I'd certainly take the pleasure of delighting in again.

This was a mixed experience. Starter: first time being served nearly uncooked/super cold rice in sushi (mid winter), would have been happy with a simple presentation rather than in cooked sushi. Looked complicated tasted bad. Was offered a replacement of tempura prawn that my husband had, didn't like them because oil used doesn't taste like the best quality. Our mains were awesome, the lamb shoulder is the best lamb dish - tender and flavourful. The salmon was PERFECTLY medium - good fish (heated plates). The deserts were delicious we both loved them. The manager/sommelier brought a great vibe.

We arrived when a shift change happens , apparently between the breakfast and lunch team so we had to wait an hour before we could even place an order , I was starving hoping to have brunch around 11am We orderd drinks while we waited for 12pm , the order went a little awry When noon struck we orderd our food, one bar of energy left and a rather salty plate of Squid with sauce arrived I was too hungry to even take a pic or complain about the saltiness , I ate for sustenance and hurriedly exited The virgin coctail was not bad at all

The location, venue and view is absolutely spectacular. The service is super brilliant, but the menu and presentation of food does not do the restaurant any justice. It needs to be spectacular and unique like the view. Fine dining is required. White table clothes, plated meals with finesse to compliment the experience. The food is average and looks common presented on wooden chop boards. Nothing to write home about. People complementing the food are not used to any better. Cocktails were fabulous!

Good selection of beers

What a joke of a restaurant/beer house. Staff that cant even take an order right. When they take the order come back 15 minutes later to tell you they dont sell that anymore. When asked for a marker and the menu's too 86 it the manager comes and says NO.... because they are only out of stock. Yet they can not train the staff. Then you find something else R55 bacon cherry sticks. What a joke OMG microwave bacon blaned cherry's. Dont waste your time you will regret every second of it even friends I took out they had a buger and schnitzel said it was dry and bland. Save yourself the disappointment!!!

Great beer selection but right next to the casino floor. Fine if you are gambling less interesting if you are looking for a pub
