Thanks for sharing! Calamari, chicken strips flatbread with sauce trio as an extra (mahala) bonus! Love the live music on aSunday! #chilleatrelax
We had a great time at Railways. The vibe is artsy and relaxing during the day. We ordered some tapas and a pizza to share.
The pizza was hands down one of the best pizzas we have had in a long time.
The chicken strips and pumpkin fritters were quite dry and over cooked. Maybe just a suggestion would be so serve drinks in glasses during the day, as my plastic cups had cracks and wrinkles in like they have already been used.
Thoroughly enjoy Railways every time we visit. Best wood fried pizza. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Great live music with great artists.
We went to the Railways Cafe on Sunday 29 April because we wanted to hear the Black Cat Bones who were playing there. We had never heard of the Railways Cafe and living in Joburg, traveling to Centurion for lunch seemed a ridiculous idea. But we are so happy that we did go ... What a wonderful, happy experience, a delightful find!
My friend and I shared a Tapas platter that we put together - everything on the platter was delicious especially the meatballs which are without doubt the best I have ever tasted and the coriander pesto!!! if they'd given me a teaspoon that's how I would have eaten it.
We had a wonderful time the staff were so friendly every single person we met was helpful and kind ... we will very definitely be back
Interesting spot. Eclectic at best, or at worst a bit weird in a cool way. Decor is whatever they could find in the second-hand store, and they just decided to hang it up. Nice calm reggae-style music over the speakers, and waiters to match! 😃
Had a pizza for lunch. Fitting to the surroundings, it was square. Very yummy, lots of topping.
This little spot is worth looking for.
Very authentic!!! Great for going out with friends and enjoying their company all while being surrounded by art and culture. I've visited the venue several time and each visit was pleasant and unique in its own way. My advise would be to sit im the big bird cage when you go, it's perfect fir a small group of friend wanting to catch up ☆☆☆☆
This place is extremely rustic, and I feel like you need to be quiet open minded when visiting Railways. It's definitely not somewhere you go to in high heels and a dress! It's a jeans and t-shirt kind of place, where you go to enjoy live music, great food and a couple of sneaky drinks or 5...
The decor is something else! There is something in every corner of this joint which can keep you busy for hours! It seems a bit messy and all over the place, but if you aren't a fussy person you could really enjoy it! The vibe this place gives off is great.
The service is definitely not something to brag about - however everything else is awesome! Great atmosphere and great pizzas!
Good vibes and good food,
The atmosphere is rustic and there's a lot of strange decor around, lots of couches to recline on.
At the performance hall there are three additional long tables where you can sit down and listen to the bands, although, reserving one of these tables means no conversion if there are loud bands playing.
Plenty of variety on the menu and some interesting recipes!
Be sure to ask a waiter before ordering as some of it doesn't come with too much of a description!
Love the pizza here. The comedy nights on thursdays are so awesome. A real 'hipster' vibe. Follow them on facebook to get info on the awesome events
We went to Railways during the weekend... Well let's just say they will be seeing us this coming weekend as well!!
The beer is great, the pizza is just delicious. I enjoyed the staff as everyone was very friendly and they call you by your name. We spoke to one of the staff members and he told us that it's the best place to work and every week there is something different and new - I appreciate positive staff members. The only negative, unfortunately, we waited forever to get a menu. Other than that I will go there week after week. Great Vibe great People*
One of the coolest and most favourite cafés in Pretoria! The place is dope ❤️🔥
I loved the vibes; the food was super delicious, the music was great, everything! The service was excellent. It's so comfy; it feels like home. And I love the fact that the place is huge, offers different styles of seating areas, and the live music completely rocks! 😎✌️
I loved the casual atmosphere, definitely seems like a place to be if you are looking for a reggae and beachfront vibe. The food is okay and well presented. There was definitely good energy and a vibe. The background music is great too.
Looking for an eclectic place to spend quality time with friends. The railway cafe ticks all of the boxes. The vibe is super fun. Decor is busy and creative and really interesting with eye catching features everywhere.
The pizzas were delicious and the beers were cold. Nuff said.
What a hidden gem. This place was bustling with energy. Friendly staff with speedy service. The service was particularly fast, considering how busy it was for Spring Day. Thank you Railways Cafe for making our night a memorable one. I will definitely be returning here in the not too distant future.

We have been hanging out here for years and I can't believe I have not written something about this place before... Everytime we have been here with friends, family or just as a couple has been some of the best experiences we have ever had in Pretoria. This place never cease to amaze me with their selection of new and old school artist and DJs'. If you are looking for a place to just hangout, have some drinks, catch up with some friends, watch some sports or celebrate a birthday party, Railways Café is all of those places rolled into one...
What a huge space!!! Several different areas - quite a few big screen TV's and also an area with projector and screen.
Artsy decorated - colorful and quirky! Wherever you look, something interesting catches your eye!!! A whole bath is mounted within the wall of 1 of the areas.
Deon and Valerie enjoyed the Railway breakfast - Hein and I enjoyed the loaded fries as well as a ham & cheese sandwich.
Fantastic service - fabulous food. We sat next to a small fireplace (1 of a few) and while Hein, Deon & Valerie watched the rugby game, I knitted a baby beanie.
Food is amazing!, worth the money!
The vibe at this place is very cool!!
100% would recommend
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE ! So chill and humble, especially if you are down to earth. There was also a witchy themed market where I got this insane hoodie !! Couldn't not get it. It was exactly my size. #berrymoon < check out their page on social media. Will be back on Sunday for round 2 ! Bringing my sister who just landed from the Netherlands 😁🥳💖
We had a booking for a room with our own private bar, perfect for the birthday celebration we were attending.
The service and the pizza was great.
The live music was a nice touch and created a festive atmosphere.
We even got to see Koos Dup playing live, as one of the live bands. What a pleasure!
Great atmosphere, can't beat that anywhere. Arty feeling, very creatively decorated, interesting shops inside restaurant. Love the Post box Café with alternative food options. Music, comedy, game nights etc always great entertainment. Small play area for kids. Vegan options available on menu.
