The 27 best bars and drinks in Bulawayo

We discovered this restaurant in search of a good lunch during the ZITF. What a delight it was. I had the best Portuguese half chicken I have ever had. The service was top notch with very friendly and attentive staff. Needless to say we had all our meals here for the entire 5 days in Bulawayo.

I was very happy with the service here, the starters 🙌🏾. The staff was very friendly as well. The manager came to check on us to see if we happy with our order. If you looking for fine dining date night vibe I can not recommend this place enough. I enjoyed myself. I was there on a cold day the place was very warm. As the writing of this review . Kindly note that they don’t open on Mondays

Generally a nice ,quiet, cozy spot. Has refreshing outdoor sitting with a green garden and pond. The eye catcher though has to be the huge twisting tree that provides the shade for the outdoor sitting, its a mysteriously nice tree fr sure. Service was just above average ,waiter kept the drinks coming 😉...I personally ddnt enjoy the dish I ordered mainly cause of taste preference but had a taste of my partner's rump steak which was just yummy....all in all ,we give the place a 3.5 just cause the food didn't live up to our expectations.

Great Atmosphere, Good food and professional staff

Overall decent service, the food could have been better seasoned, however the chips and Buffalo wings were great!

I had a lovely time.The service is impressive the waiting staff is out of this world however the place does not open on Mondays.Tje staff is very attentive and courteous.The meals are varied,fresh and succulent. However the place doesn't open on Mondays.The place fills up very fast so U need to make a reservation in order to avoid falling to get a table.I love the beef although they have other dishes like poultry fish.This is definitely a place to visit especially during the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair.U can bring the whole family here to relax.I definitely will come back here.

Their beef is the best. I don't hesitate taking friends and family there. They have a huge menu range ...fish poultry beef etc. Great desserts as well. The service is very good. Friendly staff and generally a quiet environment with green gardens around, pond.

Step out of the sun and enjoy this laid back bar. Good sounds from DJs in the evenings 👌

Dope place to drink and dine but watch out for the waiters they always try to make you forget your change especially the short dark skinned dude

The place is okay, food is nice tastes great, mocktails are okay, but service is too slow took time to get food or drinks

It was descent had gone to watch the Man Utd and Norwich Game. They should also show the game on the Tvs outside. There is no reason to play music videos that are on mute when there is an EPL game.

Chilled place for mature people...Nice aesthetics and friendly staff

Had a great afternoon with my friend. The service is a bit slow though, the waiters are not so jacked up..otherwise the food was great and the vibe was on point*

Nice breezy place with fair amount of privacy!

Great place to meet. Cold beer and hot service. I will be back

Loved the staff, food and the place

All cool place to chill on Wednesdays, especially if you're bout that night life...

Great joint, very mellow on Wednesday afternoons. Their cocktails will be on special going for half the price $2.50. Good day for a budget date lol. The customer service is awesome.

This is a must visit place .. Trust me you won't regret it👌

Nice chilled place with good vibes and a wide selection of Spirits of Spirits and beers

Crowded but a very good place

Nice place and atmosphere, could be bigger, the family friendly thatched area can be full at times and people leave especially in the cold weather, else improve the other covered area. Otherwise perfect place. Highly recommend.

I celebrated my birthday at smokehouse. The food was quality top notch hands down, excellent salads fresh produce used, the music selection was super fantastic. The staff is always willing to help and greet and respond swiftly. Very friendly environment 💯

Great place, definitely in the pricy side but worth it. I had a chicken liver starter and it was amazing. Friendly staff, they didn't have the cocktail I ordered so asked for the waiters recommendation and he bought me one of his favourites.

Overally a great environment and pretty good for taking pictures, has a separate kids space and many tables. My bad comment goes to the burnt pizza A.T.N i bought which was the most expensive of them all on the menu I expected better than that, also very thin base they should really work on their pizz🍕s.

Welcoming, friendly atmosphere from time of arrival Food was excellent and full of flavor Staff are friendly, engaging and professional Well worth it 👌

Lovely place. I loved the scenery and atmosphere. I sat on the outside around the evening so it looked so beautiful. Food was good, I got the chicken burger which was slightly bland. My friend had the beef burger and it looked really good. The food took longer than I expected to come out about 25 minutes for a table of 3. It's a great place to eat or just have a drink at. I would highly recommend.

Brilliant atmosphere. Very busy on Saturday night but well worth a visit. Highly recommend it.

It's a good place for a gentleman's outing... safe parking and clean environment

You have to try their bean salad ....its super nice

Poor customer service from the staff. We had to takeaway and leave.

Great food but the flies😩 we had to takeaway and leave.

l wouldn't know what it is like on a busy weekend but when l went it was chilled and everything was on point, impressed with the renovations

The exclusivity offered here you dont find any riff ruffs and what a pleasant dining and wining experience i had. The staff is so friendly they make it a home away from home and u can relax knowing you will get good meat grilled and a wide range of imported and local beers and wines and your vehicle well secured outside

The meat is a bit expensive and it was a bit hard, they can try and roast it much better.

I saw Jane from the Byo podcast chilling there so I guess it's a cool place

I just use the quick service kiosk to get alcohol refills, the beer there is so cold

Used to be a regular visited again recently it felt like a second home the stuff is super friendly the food is so nice

Cheap cold beers friendly atmosphere. A great place to chill. No hawkers

Pretty spacious place with food and drinks. There are 3 selling points , a takeaway joint , a car wash and huge projector screen. The crowd is is vibey and electric but its not upmarket

Affordable alcohol at the bottle store, just bring your empty bottles for returnable bottles. There is also a bar and restaurant in the inside. And a car wash. Good place. However when at the bottle store watch out for police patrolling the street in search of public drinking ofrences.

Worst experience was served hot alcohol as if they have no fridge and the customer service people started being dodgy. Its poor so poor mxm

Looks like it was recently renovated and it’s a clean environment.

Spacious sporting Area, tennis, soccer etc And there's a Chinese restaurant there😋

Good fitness place esp tennis

If you are told certain stars are coming there are chances that those stars might not come at all. After paying to get in and waiting till the cracking of dawn. I didn't enjoy that at all. Security is good someone is watching your car outside so you are to some extent safe. No violence inside just fun and games once you are in

Loved the vibe feels more like Byo! Makes me feel so at home and love my city. The place is beautiful. And the ladies rooms absolutely clean. 😊👌🏾

Nice atmosphere. Kids have private cricket lessons here. Very polite staff affordable drinks. Not sure if it only open to members only at the moment.

There is a great new Chinese restaurant at the venue and I absolutely loved the food. Great value for money. We ordered so much food and whiskey and a bottle of wine and it was still under $50

Palmer Moyo was amazing we will definitely call back ...food was just 101 keep it up Cosmo we love Bulawayo

Nice place but the food was served cold and the dj was playing too much of hiphop songs for 4 hours🤦‍♀️

Great place for drinks and clubbing with friends, stays open till late especially on most weekends.

I love this place, been going there almost every weekend

Wonderfully setup bars... catering for all tastes.

A nice place to chill with friends

One of the best night life spots. Only setback is having to pay when the club starts packing up. If it was free entry like all other clubs we would make it our main spot, great service and patronage

If you're looking to chase a sunset over some golf -drives; then this is your place. You can purchase a bucket of golf balls and drive them to a length of 200metres and cap your evening with an ice-cold one. Ample parking space with a sense of general safety. Recommended if you enjoy watching Bulawayos open skies.

Opens at 12pm - 10pm.it provides good customer service. It is good for going there to enjoy food and drinks

This a great place for your weekend outing with friends.

All night grooving, within the premises parking space, great bbq, good people

The waiters on duty were prompt but I ordered their pork chop and thy served me a t bone .. was very disappointed by this worse I didn’t get informed thy didn’t hv pork tht day … also thier chips where very oily .. like thy had slpt overnight after being cooked … I so expected a fresh meal … The atmosphere is very clean and energetic but I was greatly disappointed by the food served … I expect better. Oh the salad was amazing but the rest was trash …

Great place, good vibes 👌, great music selection

Exceptional service and affordable prices. Great tasting food as well.

Great atmosphere and overall vibe. Although the place can get a little crowded due to the lack of space but it still is a good place to visit. Also the service is quite impeccable despite the waiters and waitresses having to attend to a large number of customers.

Very cosy place with cool lighting. But can get very packed towards midnight. A good place to chill esp early in the evening

It's small space gives it a lot of hype as it's always a favorite week in, week out and always filled with a vibrant crowd to the brim.

Nice and exquisite bar 5 minute drive from the city centre of Bulawayo

Good vibe great decor

home of the finest shisha in Bulawayo; but great music and a good vibe ....however it is more commercial now .

I have never been disappointed by this place. My Go to place for a great night out

It's a nice quiet place to visit

Place need some serious renovations now looking old

It's a bar for the other half of people who like cheap night life

Kikikik Just Go and See for yourself

you guys doing something good we like party buy do not no where but now we no sho sho

Great place for those interested in night life

There is a noise frm the club ar the reception. More for a brothel thn a decent hotel to rest

So I have eaten here before, loved the people and the conversation. Was made to feel like I have known the people all my life. However, when I went the second time, I loved the service, and atmosphere and hated the food. But it ain't such a bad place.

Very good traditional food. Nice relaxed sitting setup

I loved the place, good food, good atmosphere, very quite and peaceful. I really enjoyed their food, they know how to satisfy a tummy

Nice home cooked meals ,nice music as well to complement it

I ate my favorite meaty beef bones and isitshwala some with some vegetables on the side .That will not disappoint .

It was perfect especially oxtail l wish l could get something like that in gweru l enjoyed myself kani the next day l went for sadza nema bhonzo ummmm sis bee mobika shem

Nice traditional food. If you are tired of food with spices or funny soups just go this place you will enjoy

Beautiful atmosphere for relaxing and also dancing. It is a semi plush setup really, the only problem which is the major problem are the DJs. They do not cater for a diverse audience.

A amazing Night Club with varied Musical styles and entertainment. Moderately priced drinks and food.

Classy elegant club playing music for the mature. Something different in the city of kings. Connecting people with music

Cool place love it...the atmosphere is classy and the music exquisite

Cool place, love it....atmosphere, music everything about it its quite cool, a place too be in Bulawayo

Its fiiiiiiaaaa.....if you want to have a good time connect is the way

it has a lot of upgrading to do. Dingy is the word i would use as a polite description

Oh what a time I had!!! Honestly love this place. The food was a solid 10/10. The chicken was so tender and juicy. The service was rather a bit slow that was the only disappointing part but everything else? 5 stars⭐️ Also ask for Thoko or Ashley

The place has great potential, food was good. Nice place to chill in Bulawayo. Enjoyed the ribs and the potions were good but needs something else to add to the plating of the food. Waiters were friendly. Just needs something to add to the vibe of the place…

Very spacious, comfortable and upmarket venue with a large dining area and separate bar with large TV screens for sporting events, the noise of which doesn't impact on the diners. Easy to find and adequate safe parking. Food is well prepared and presented my favourites being half chicken or beef stew with starch of your choice (chips/fries, mashed/boiled potatoes, rice or sadza (local white maize meal similar to grits / polenta). These cost U$8/U$10 respectively and portion sizes are good. Drinks are very reasonably priced when compared to other similar restaurants. On my last visit, I had phoned to make a reservation and then when leaving the restaurant I forgot my wallet. About half an hour later I received a call from the manager asking if the wallet was mine, for which I was eternally grateful and relieved. Very honourable and unusual service in this day and age. Highly recommended. Updated review : Have since tried the Ladies Sirloin @ U$8 including a side of awesome mashed potatoes (or one can choose chips / salad / sadza). The steak was tender & cooked to perfection. Decent portion and reasonably priced. I phoned in my order for take-away and it was ready when I got there. They even added some extra garlic at no extra charge, as they have come to know that I favour garlic with my meals. My go to restaurant in Bulawayo - well lit, large and guarded parking is also a bonus.

I always enjoy my meals. And the Friday live band makes it very pleasant to eat there. Very friendly staff. And a great place to go as a couple, family or friends

The pork chops were under done. We had to package our own food for take away after eating. Our table had no salt/pepper or toothpicks. Condiments tasted very cheap. The starter was good (pepper livers served with bread). The waitress was nowhere to be seen most of the time for extra ordering. The ambience was good and the music too. For the amount spent it’s definitely not worth it. Let me not forget the shocking 10% gratuity/tip which was forcibly added to the total bill.

Kings Kraal is a great spot with a welcoming atmosphere and tasty meals. The portions are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. It’s a nice place to relax with friends or family, and the menu has good variety. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality food and a cozy vibe.

It was such a great experience. Would recommend during the week if you’re looking for an intimate and quiet setting

More bottle stores and drunkards loitering around. Not a place to send kids alone

Nice shopping center in Emakhandeni Township

Was destroyed by the mob during the January 2019 protests, it is now running as a kiosk with the facility under huge damage I guess it will take time to rehabilitate considering the current economic situation

Its not a bad place at all,people around the community they can have a spot where they can enjoy themselves.

Dirty shops and bottle store,hygeine is not well mantained,otherwise the surrounding is safe,no violence no gangsters

It is aplace whr you can get anything you want other than goin to the cbd

Cool Getto place, my Getto ,too many friends there

Great place to chill, I love how its a child-friendly environment so coming to this place can be a family affair. Overall great place and i will highly recommend 👌

The food is amazing I give it five stars I love the western and traditional food served in this establishment.I love the festive atmosphere in this place especially on Sundays which is the busiest day and on this day there is always a live Jazz band which performance here and it is good for music lover to fine while drinking and relaxing.The food portions are generous although the prices are a bit stybut beer prices are quite affordable.This place is suitable for all group sizes and you can bring your whole family here.I also love the braai,pizza and full chicken highly recommended

The place bar l usually go there to chill with my friends and grab a cold one. Their food prices are a bit steep but the beer prices are affordable. They always have live Jazz music on Sundays and if you are music lover you will be captured the whole night.

It was a cool experience for me.. not many people inside though maybe since it was a Wednesday night. Good music beats 🎶. I loved the green veggies more, prepared while we waited. Very warm food ✅.. ka waiter very friendly and helpful ✅

Service was slow considering that there wasn't much people present.. Waitress was very nice but seemed to be a bit confused about the prices of items

Overall, The Place is one of my favorite spots because of the phenomenal traditional food and the great atmosphere, particularly on those busy Sunday nights.

Great location, good food, cold beers and Sundays they have good live band playing

The DJ from 8pm was horrific. Git there at 9pm and couldn't tell what Hella music he was playing. First it was Msawawawa, then nonsense then Brick n Lace, like what the hell. Get an identity bro or go off stage and let more confident players play.

The Atmosphere is electric all year round. The VIP lounge is top tier. General access could use better lavatory, the toilets there need an upgrade, there are just not sanitary.

The vibes are correct especially on Sundays, it's unbelievable. Bringing a bit of sophistication to Ekasi.

need to upgrade pov toilets

The most happening place in Zimbabwe right now.

Great service, great environment definitely the place to be!

Safety in parking is A bit lousy but it's a great place

Fun place to spend time with friends and listen to good music. Great atmosphere

Great place to spend an evening, has got a great vibe and the music will get you dancing

Nice place. However, a bit over priced for the same things you can get else where. I guess you are posting for the vibe.

Its a cool place for grabbing some bites with friends day or night. Liked the service

It's a cool place good music

Beautify refreshing environment and nice views of the City Hall

One of the best bars but overcrowded sometimes

Lovely customer service, clean and comfortable. The food was nice and affordable although most of their meals on the menu were not there. Maybe it was mid week. But l totally loved the atmosphere.

Loved the setup, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.

Do something about space create a dance floor on one side and a place to sit on the other

VIP area has made the dancefloor unbearable to walk around because it's now small !

Looking forward to Varsity Nights, every Friday

Place to make a night experience great

Very good, almost there...

Nice place to be

A very cool place to refresh with nice music

Quite a great bar but not really on the hit list nowadays

Not well informed with the place

It was the only place I could find with a vegetarian burger. It was nice although the chips were too small. Had to order more chips after the meal.

It is comfortable there's resting area. Delicious foods and desert

It's not s big mall. Looks like more of a shopping center than a mall. That's my opinion🤗 not many business are run there

Clean shopping centre. The food court has 3 restaurants, the service was slow but the staff were kind. The toilets are kept locked but accessible if you ask from staff, and clean.

Always clean 👌

Great service delicious meals

Halisi sells good food 😌

The pizza was to die for! So flavourful, I believe we ordered the springbok? The Sunday roast was okay, a fairly good deal for the price point. Aesthetics are okay, wish they had smaller tables for those eating as 1 or 2. Definitely going back to try out more of their pizzas

Terrible service. Rude staff. Never have half the items on the menu. Severely disappointed, would not recommend and close so early !!!

It's a quiet place. Pleasant people.

The food was great

On a Friday night Stunts is always full to the brim, good lokshin vibes certainly have their crowd and the DJs know how to work up a storm. However, it can get too crowded you struggle to get to the gents

Its too small People will be squeezing

Went here a few times while in Bulawayo as I stayed right near the place. It’s located near town, good prices, good music and great atmosphere. The first couple times I got good service although it was slow, on the third occasion we were unlucky to be served by a very rude and lazy waitress who didn’t wanna do her job properly. She actually told me she wasn’t going to get my order for cocktails as she would have to wait for them and that would waste her time. Along with this she refused to give me my change back and said she deserved a tip. As we were leaving there was a rude security guard who tried to start an altercation with one of the people I was out with.
