Cool, trendy Vibes! Absolutely beautiful women & Men. Hip and pretty happening especially some nights, (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
Bring enough cash to enjoy a little snack before the drinking/dancing/fun starts at about 10:30pm. I like drinking their cool and decent collection of Craft Beers.
Between R35 - R60 depending if its from a tap, or the 350 ml bottle.
Snack/party starters will cost between R50 - R100.
My favorite being the falafel style meat and seafood balls with an amazing sauce to go with it! We had to order extra sauce...twice!
Weekends particularity busier and the music, dancing, drinking, socializing and even networking are incredible.
Keep rocking the shit outa C.T!
Love and hugs

Peace!
Cool vibes, great drinks, amazing food and friendly service. I loved the decor and music. Totally a place I’ll come back for.
Went to village idiot as this was the happening place in cape town. They had Halloween setup. The place is quite good for food and party. The music was good and dance floor was full. The food was nice. The service was good. Definitely must visit place
I was impressed with the price of cocktails as well as the calamari portion which was huge! The quality was a average however I have awarded this rate because the steak was cooked to perfection and was incredible tasty! The drinks and atmosphere were both great and we really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu
Heard about the place via the app..We went after work one evening to try it out..Didn’t think much of the place from outside..but once inside cozy welcoming environment..sat by the fireplace. had the deluxe braai board which fed myself and wife!! Meats were cooked to perfection and prices all reasonable! Will definitely visit again!
Amazing vibe and incredible food. Loved the service too. Try the bunny chow with curry and the braai. It's a quintessentially South African place with a very international vibe. Will be going back.
House beers are brewed by Boston craft their pilsner is extremely yeasty and the larger fruity (Not to my taste... but if you like that kind of thing) great craft IPAs and seasonal tap beers (currently pouring a CBS. Their pap (only in SA) bacon and cream sauce is something different and the ribs fall off the bone! Perfectly cooked, great choice in music adds to the ambiance and they have bottomless bubbly 3-5 Friday’s!
So at the end of an amazing foodie week in Cape Town we find the jewel in the crown. I had the Brai Special, a mix of BBQ meats, absolutely delicious. My wife had sirloin steak. Really great god, atmosphere and music.
We arrived, the atmosphere was very welcoming and warm and quite hipster in my opinion but I thought it was a lekker spot. Lots of young people having drinks with their friends but creates a lively vibe for sure.
Service was absolutely fantastic!
Quite surprisingly it was busy for a tuesday evening mid-month.
We decided to try their twodays special which consists of 2x pulled pork burgers with coleslaw and a jug of beer for R130 and we decided on a side salad to share but it was smaller than expected.
The drinks arrived quickly and food shortly after.
The burgers were average, I thought it could have done with more coleslaw, and I liked the salad but he didnt so much.
We really enjoyed our first time visiting but will probably only return for drinks as the service and atmosphere is what we enjoyed most.
What a lovely place! I had a great time here with friends. The music and vibe was just perfect for an after work dinner during the week. I kept thinking how much more fun I could have there on a Friday night.
I had a Borewors Burger which was juicy, well seasoned and came with some chunky slaw and another side ( I chose chips). They also have pap on the menu as a side which is pretty cool. The selection of wine is just perfect for their menu.
Service was superb- our waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable on the food and wine.
I will definitely go back and tell everyone about it.
I was at The Village Idiot for after work drinks. The beers were ice cold and the service was quick and friendly at at the bar, albeit the fact that they were not busy. I also noticed the cleanliness of the place and the wonderful music selection which was at the perfect sound level. I also had the braai board which was quite excellent - the steak and boerewors was tasty although the steak could have been a touch more rare. The coleslaw and salad was excellent - tangy and fresh. The chakalaka was the best I've had in recent memory, the only complaint being that there wasn't more of it! The only disappointment were the chicken wings which were bland and lifeless. They could also do with more IPAs in their beer selection. Otherwise, excellent evening!
Came back after 4 years and everything is still 10/10!
I'll come back every time due to the fact that everyone always makes you feel so welcome. So a big thank you to our waiter Matt and the Manager of the evening Daniel who made our night. My fiancée's birthday shots were spot on 👌
This place is one of a kind, I absolutely love the decor and the vibe and the food.
Awesome spot

The entrance looks a bit suspect but once you go upstairs, it has a great atmosphere. Friendly and attentive waiters. The food was incredible! Great music and DJ playing some 2000’s tunes.
Love this place. The chicken burger was huge but absolutely amazing. The best thing about this place is the vodka slushies. I had both the granadilla an raspberry & they were delicious - the servings could be bigger though. The place turns into a full on club by 10pm and becomes extremely crowded so I suggest going early if you are going for food only.

Really great food and vibe. Sometimes service can be slow.
But all and all great music and vibe on weekends and some weekdays.
Music does get bit repetitive towards the end of the evening.
I attended a networking event and it is a great venue with plenty bar staff and waitrons. The outside deck is perfect for mingling and drinking plus there's a dance floor to dance the night away on weekends. Unfortunately, there's a lot of signage requesting people to watch their valuables so I don't think it's a 100% safe.
What an absolutely wonderful place to go to.
The food is amazing and for the price it is well worth it.
The vibe is electric great atmosphere.The service and the employees are friendly and always there to assist when you need them.
Will definitely be back.
Wednesdays is bottomless wings and chips.. Delicious...
They had a pop up gin stall for R40 where you could choose all the toppings you desired..
The prawn curry was filling and tasted amazing.
The vibe is quirky and uniqie with a fire place for the winter nights and many funny sayings all of their walls and artwork that will keep your eyes entertained .. A good night out with good food and great venue
INITIAL RATING 3*: Bar staff is friendly and helpful even when it's super busy. Wait staff seemed overwhelmed. Food was average for the price. Over-promised and under-delivered a bit. Music was terrible.
.
EDIT: I've since been back to the Village Idiot and the second time around the service was much better. Our waitron was charming and very helpful. The food was much better than the first visit too. The place is busy and can get rowdy after a certain hour and as patrons become more and more lubricated.
Again, if jock-bros and chardonnay poppies are your vibe then this is one for you.
Amazing atmosphere, quite packed in the evening. Good selection of beverages and friendly staff.
Amazing music, people, and vibe. Ribs that fall off the bone, and filling mac n cheese with brie and mozzarella!! Great music - a great place to dance, have a drink, play some pool, and meet new people :)
