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 on
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
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'
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 thei
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 muc
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 :)
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
Good place for a meal and evening drinks. The Manager was very accommodative of my food allergies. She helped me tweak their dishes so I could eat safely! Sadly didn’t get her name.
Jethro was great as our waiter, conversational and made sure he got my order right.
Luke was great at the bar with som
We have been suggested about this place by friends that previously lived in Cape Town, obviously we wanted to try to live like locals soooo...from the outside you won't expect nothing special, but inside it's amazing, wide, big, warm, cozy, comfortable, with a lot of funny items everywhere. We went
Great place for a night out with some friends or your partner. Food is amazing and the service is very good :-)
Everything was just good vibes from the waiter to the food to the atmosphere and especially the service from Deniel was 💯 definitely recommend and going back very soon😁
Excellent fare, got the deluxe braai board and a dessert and both were amazingly tasty. Coupled with a great local cider, it made for a great early dinner after a couple of long flights in. Planning on coming back here in a couple of nights to try some other local dishes and their spicy ginger beer.
Absolutely a lot of fun. If you are looking for somewhere to let your hair down, dance to some great music, have awesome service... This is the place to be... Enjoy!
Really nice hipster like bar, and the Burger deal was pretty amazing: R120 for a burger and a small beer. I didn't like the Standard Lager, but they have plenty of other beers to choose from.
