Adorable rustic, nautical themed restaurant right in the hub of scenic Newlands. Nice atmosphere, seating outside for summer nights or in sit inside and warm yourself by the fireplace.
Staff was great, helpful 👍and the manager was working the floor with the staff. The food was fresh, and delicious touches of the chef 👨🍳 could be seen by food. Restaurants run like a well maintained ship 😊 Food was well priced. Burgers, hake, steak, pastas, steamed veggies, butternut/creamed spinach, salad, and stir fry are recommended. Vegetarian options are also a choice on some menu items. Can't wait to go back.
Popped in for Sunday lunch at this popular Newlands pub 'n grill.
Vibey atmosphere with good food. Loved the crumbed mushrooms, grilled calamari and potato skins with creme fraiche. Hubby enjoyed his chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce.
A pity that our waiter didn't so much as crack a smile the entire time we were there. It seemed he would rather be doing anything else but serve us, making us feel rather unwelcome. Could've been having an off day, but it's still unacceptable to be so unwelcoming.
But overall, we enjoyed our experience and will return for the good food.
I had the beef fillet, perfectly cooked, medium rare. Great service, and the atmosphere was nice.
Comfort Food 101!!
Great array of dishes with so many that could just hit the spot. Pub dishes but without the excessive oil. With additional healthy options there's something for everyone.
Try the drinks menu, plus the team is super helpful when asking for special drinks.
Multiple areas to sit, from comfy inside seating to chilled sunny outside areas.
Barristers hits the mark for a typical pub like type " British" restaurant. They offer an extensive menu which is bound to please any pallet. Don't expect too much from the food as it is "plain fare", but it's executed well, tasty and well priced. The service is good with both waiters and manager attentive and enthusiastic. If you are wanting to just chill ln the balcony, watch sports in the pub or have more of an intimate dining experience, Barristers does it all. Definitely recommended if you are in the Newlands village.
Amazing vibe and good food. You even get a blanket when it's a bit chilly outside. Waiters were very friendly and helpful and the place was nice and clean. Will definitely be going back.
We went to this place in the afternoon and I loved it. The service is really nice and we were taken into the area where it was warmer due to winter cold afternoon. The food was amazing. I had a calamari basket (which comes with fries) and fish you can substitute with rice or vegetables. My friends dish was tasty. I even forgot to take photos for the first dish until I had devoured the whole plate or we nearly done🤦🏿♂️. They are also heavy on wines but I settled for tea instead. Give it a try!
Lovely ambiance. Great specials from 11am-6pm. The pecan nut fudge dessert was the highlight of my evening.
Honest pub / steakhouse food, great drinks selection, good service - all at reasonable prices.
The verandah is where the coveted seats are but we prefer a booth inside, away from sport on the tv’s and the passing parade.
