Review The Chuckka Bar - Durban

Beautiful views from the balcony. The bar has a very extensive collection of alcohol. The whiskey selection is fantastic. Decor is stylish and plush. The staff are friendly and professional, they go above and beyond from a service level point of view. Menu selection is small and the food is good. A nice way to spend and afternoon or evening.

Always a great place to enjoy a drink and watch the ocean. Ended up on the balcony of the Lighthouse Bar recently for cocktails and had a great evening overlooking the ocean and the lighthouse. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Be prepared to pay a premium for the drinks, but still worth the experience! Also pay a visit to the bathrooms.

Such a nice place to have drinks, enjoy the beautiful view and just relax! They have THE BEST Hot Chocolate, I 100% recommend!

Right now, Lighthouse has an amazing ribs special. Not on the menu so its a top tip if you plan to go. Love the view, love the history. Definitely worth setting aside an afternoon to have some great time with your family and friends.

Absolutely stunning setting for sundowners and reasonably priced. Beautiful hotel, but the bar is rather casual which was perfect for us.

Nice place with sea views. Friendly staff. Nice food and mixed drinks. Martinis were my favorite

Been here several times and it never disappoints from the views to the food to the professional service. It is an indulgence but well worth the treat now and again.

Wow, what a stunning pub. Great views, amazing service & delicious cocktails.

Lovely view and amazing waiter! We loved the place. I will go back there everytime I go to South Africa again. The monkeys and pigeons are a problem, but the moment they start bothering you, the staff bring a bottle of water to spray them with. Have them leave the bottle with you. Then I promise you you'll enjoy a meal with no problems. The platter was increadible and value for money! My husband and myself did not want to leave. Best place in Umhlanga by far.

I had an amazing experience. The staff is super friendly. Food is good. The area is very relaxed. Very relaxing to have a sit up there and look at the lighthouse and the ocean. A must visit even if it is for drinks.

It's an exquisite upmarket bar with outdoor seating overlooking the ocean. It's impeccably decorated in the hotel's red and white theme, with a really classic traditional wooden bar inside which has some really comfy seating areas, and then a light, playful outside area with a handful of very friendly pigeons. What a wonderful place to grab a few drinks (which are slightly pricey) but I thought it was overall worthwhile. Excellent service from the staff!

Amazing food and service We were 8 of us and we were served by Noluvuyo and she was outstanding The warm welcome of Mr Wesley made us feel very happy Thank you and keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I had the best time of my life yesterday it was my birthday 😊😊 Wow your customer service is the best

Excellent service as well as great oysters, appetizers and tasty drinks!

Absolutely love this place! Enjoy the magnificent view of the Indian Ocean while you sip on your drinks.

Lighthouse Bar at the Oyster Box was such a treat. From the excellent service the moment you walk into the hotel to the amazing view from the restaurant itself I will visit again the moment I get back to Umhlanga. The waiters were very friendly and quick, when asked about the various drinks on the menu they were clued up on all aspects of the drink. My partner asked the waiter what gin and tonic he would recommend and after giving his insights he brought one made with Ginoligist which was one of the best my partner and I have tried. I ordered a pina colada (which was not featured on the menu) but it was no problem what so ever. The drink was a classic made with a white rum, coconut cream and fresh pineapple juice. We were even given a fair amount of free snacks to enjoy while we sat. I would not recommend going here if money is a bit tight as the cocktails can run up to R100 each but the cocktails and experience as a whole is really worth it. Also the elevator in the hotel is amazingly smooth, would totally ride again.

My favourite place in Umhlanga. Gorgeous views and perfect position near the lighthouse and ocean. Beautiful decor and attentive staff. Great cocktail selection. Feel completely spoilt but comfortable each time I visit.

My friend and I visited the light house bar two weeks ago. We were warmly hosted and had received exceptional service. Absolutely comfortable.

Amazing view and great cocktails. I do advise you take sunglasses if sitting on the open patio. Everything is light and brightly reflects sunlight even on a mildly overcast day. The cocktails are well planned and tasty. Note that bookings to need to be made currently due to the COVID crisis.
