Review Eastwoods Tavern - Pretoria

Khothatso Moropana
It is always a good time to go to Eastwoods to chill and unwind. The cocktails are a bit on the pricier side. A tip would be to wait till 16h00 for the specials. The atmosphere is nice, great for pictures. It's a huge space, and each section has a different feel to it. The aesthetics are brilliant. One thing I didn't like, though, was the number of flies we had once the food came. And the menu is so limited, would have loved for more variety. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it.

No one at the entrance for welcoming. Menu was such a turn off because most of the items were not on the menu which was very disappointing. They must just remove the items that are not available. The food was very blend. Super boring. Only 1 starch served with your stew, no veggies, had to order aside. Drinks were amazing. Dessert was not bad, malva was a bit stale but custard was amazing. All in all I could rate this place 3 out of 5. Not forgetting their hubbly price, it is way too much no ways. Looking at the way things were, many people couldn’t order due to the crazy price.

This place is amazing, very clean aswell. Great atmosphere and it's got a vibe, great music, and the service from the waiters are superb. Though it was quite difficult finding a seat but hey, who wouldn't want to be there for some good vibes and cold beers. My only disappoint was the ladies toilets, only 1 toilet was working we had to wait a long que.
Sebita Modikwe
Beautiful place to chill out or host your people. With nice food and good music to dance to, if you are majaivava 😜. The service is also great. I even like the fact that when it's your birthday, you get a little something 🍾 from them

I loooove what they've done to the place. Great improvement between 2017 to 2023. It's grown into a proper lounge. Oh yes! I also like that they have an option of hot beverages, which are usually not part of the choices at most lounges. The fire place! The music volume! The sectioning of the types of vibes. Wow.👌. No longer one size fits all, because it doesn't. They understood the assignment.

Very nice bar and restaurant to chill enjoy a decent meal with wine to enjoy.
Jim Paterson
An energetic and fun spot with plenty of TVs tuned into the sports channels, and a variety of social spaces with a terrace, bars, cosy relaxation area and dining rooms. Expect plenty of people, all busy enjoying themselves. The food is basic but enjoyable. This is a great place to watch football or rugby. It will usually be packed on Matchday at Loftus Versfeld stadium, which is just over the road.

Woooow the place is breathtaking 👌💯my last visit was 2019 but yesterday I was shocked the face lift was wooooooooow 💯❤️

A nice place to relax with your friends. Their food is nice. Though some waiters complain about the amount of gratitude you offer them.

The food was freshly made, tasty, and hot. The service was a bit rushed, which was kind of expected due to the volume of people. However, I expected the same level of service I would get if the place was not, or moderately, packed. The atmosphere was exactly what we expected, which was fun and good music
Frans Makgalo
The first time at this place. By 6pm there was no parking inside up until we waited for the security personnel helping us get in. Inside was electrifying. The food 😋
Flaviour Shogole
We went to Eastwood for a farewell dinner of one of my colleague. We got there around 2pm and left at 8pm. I didn’t like the guy who was serving us, he goes away for the longest time without even checking us. We also got our food late because of How he was all over. The food is delicious and there’s a great ambiance. The drinks are great too and there’s always a good special for the day. I also enjoyed their music and how the music transitioned from one song to the other. Kuddos to the Dj.
Mahlako Mahlaela
It is a beautiful place that caters to single and group events. They are making good food ,it a must revisit place. The air coming from there is something else,they are able to adjust to the temperature.
Efat Lungu
Had a good time,a place to groove,good food great specials. Definitely a place to be when u want to celebrate your achievements and birthdays
Ricky Naidoo
To Shadrack and his team, thank you for a wonderful evening .You have been a wonderful host, and we will be back for sure, so safe how ever your parking space is an issue when there is a game at Loftus Versveld
Thando Cele
If you’re a student in Pretoria or just a local, you’ve heard of Eastwoods and their cocktail specials. This place is off the chain! The atmosphere is crazy fun during weekends especially and on days with live sport. Have a walk around and check out the effort done outside in terms of decorations and enjoy the company of people you love to spend the most time (and get responsibly drunk) with.
Jana Scheepers
They have really good cocktails and a half price special on them from 15:00 everyday. But you wait forever to be helped and the food is not that great.
Beate Mey
This is a sports bar where they run a great deal on cocktails and they have some nice pizzas and grills. Obviously it isn’t the place for any occasion but f you’re in the mood for cocktails and beers, it does well.
Kagiso Heathcliff Mphela
The place has a great vibe, the food and drinks are at a reasonable price but the service was terrible our table was always wet and the waiter rarely checked up on us
Ronnie Mthizo Mthombeni
Great place i have there a couple of times with a friend of mine they have a great selection of menus to choosr from the only thing i dnt like about the place is the shortage of parking
Milton Eduardo
I am not satisfied at all with Eastwoods team. It used to be one of my favorite places to hang aroubd with my family & friends every 2saturday of the month, but thus place has its services downgraded, u wait so long to be assisted, especially if you are seating at the bar, waiters not organized at all. Its unfortunately a disgrace, last saturday i went to have a Tbone me and my friend and i was drinking Savanna cider by the bottle and i was charged R35 for my 4 bottle's i drank, service was pathetic as i still had to ask 3 different waiters to find my waiter and bring us more drinks. I have escalated this matter to management but till today i haven't receive any feedback whatsoever. I will definitely not recommend this place to nobody as its services have downgraded. Im truly dissapointed.
Thabang Mabala
What an amazing experience! I love the vibe and the atmosphere. It's very different, one would never think it's so different when you walk by outside. The vintage VWs outside used as table setup was an amazing idea. It's refreshing and one would forget they are in pretoria. I had pizza, it was fairly okay, not the best I've had.
Lavonne Elorie Müller
Ordered a kilo of chicken wings. This is clearly not what was expected. 10 small wings and none of which were peri-peri as stated in the menu. Both the waiter and manager had no interest in our query and complaint. Would strongly discourage anyone from dining here. Great dissatisfaction at best. Terrible service and even worse food.
Awande Mngadi
Eastwoods has the best ribs and mash. The service is frustrating though. This is only a good venue if you like sports and you're super patient.
Rhoneth
Perfect place to watch sport and have a drink with friends. Their food and drinks are really reasonably priced. They have some the cheapeast and widest variety of cocktails around Pretoria. Their food is fine (except the chef does not know the difference between medium and well done).The one really negative thing is their service. They do not have enough waiters. We waited over an hour before our waiter attended to us. Which is fine if you don't mind ordering drinks from the bar and just relaxing.
Orielia Pria Egambaram
A great spot to catch a sports game. <br/>Often gets very full when the Rugby is on. <br/>The food is great and the cocktail specials are ideal <br/>The service is usually great, except for when it is very full , then they are spread quite thin .
Raoul
This place has so much potential but they go after value and not quality. I brought a few clients out for lunch here today. The service was not great to say the least but at least the food made up for it. Probably one of the better steak places around. It's a sports pub but the service could have been a bit better. Food comes out at different times and makes it uncomfortable when you have guests. I had a T-Bone and it was delicious. Plenty of mid week specials but I won't be back in a hurry.
Thendo Mathobo
Good food, good vibes but the service is trash. We got there and no one gave us a warm welcome and then after we had to hustle for a table , the waiter came with 1 menu and there was 4 of us. She told us that we'd have to share the menu.
Katrina Arends
One of the vibiest places around Arcadia. Cocktails are done perfectly. The food is prepared tastefully and the platters are huge. It draws a mix crowd from the young to the professional for after work drinks.
Bontle Molefe
Love it! Very relaxed vibe. Suitable for singles, dates and groups. The food is great; the meat was well cooked and they're portions and presentation look just as good as they do in the pictures. S/O to Felix, he was an amazing waiter for Gabaiphiwe Makgale and I.
Lebogang Pila
Very impressive.. Had lunch with a friend just last weekend and we both loved it. We loved everything about the place from the setting to food and drinks. Definetly going back soon
Erica Geldenhuys
Food is super average. The vibe is not bad but it is sometimes too busy that you can't even talk to anyone around you because of the noise. The prices aren't bad but the tables are super sticky and dirty. Won't go again soon.
Lerissa
Not the best. Sure, the place is jammed packed but when people start cheering after waiting an hour for drinks to arrive... You know your wait is going to be excruciating.
Tc Moila
Woah! Now this is a place I really underestimated outside looking in as I passed all the years I was in varsity.<br/><br/>I finally went to have a drink with a business client and I must say it blew me away, it's like a luxury meets pub meets new skool vibe with over three seating areas from the bar stool, to the street facing deck to the lounge area in the back <br/><br/>I didn't have a meal but I thoroughly enjoyed my No 3 Fransen Street Creamy Ale (the best beer ever man THEE VERY BEST) and the service at the bar was warm and welcoming however the I was disappointed when the beer ran out :(<br/><br/>I must say I really appreciated the manager exchanging my beer when a fly flew into it with an Irish Ale by the same beer brand.<br/><br/>Definitely need to return for the food to update my review!
Stefan Schrage
Eastwoods is your typical pub.. if you like burgers steaks and a diner experience this is it.. they have nice from-the-grill specials and their cocktail menu is YUMMEEEEEEE!!! 1litre cocktails and also very nice wine specials. Will go there again!
James Marsh
The vibe and setting is great! But the service was rude, very slow, we waited more than a half and hour for 2 drinks. Waited even longer than that for food. The pizzas werent great, the dough was raw even though the bottom was burnt.
Gladys Leboho
I loved this place the minute I walked. That vibe was so cool. We then found out cocktails were half price till 20:00 and that just made me so happy. They had such a great selection on cocktails. So many options to choose from. The cocktails were sweet just the way I like them. The food was also very good. I had the 500g pork ribs and they were so delicious. They were a lot and I couldn't finish them. But really impressed by this place. Definitely coming back again
Churu Schnell
From a non biased view as a chef working in the same industry. The service was decent, the waitress was friendly and worked hard. My steak was well priced and well cooked. However I had to ask my waitress if they tend to over cook the steaks. She said yes and that's why I ordered mine rare. So I had a perfect medium rare but everyone else's steaks were over cooked. Thanks Eastwood for a wicked steak.
Kirst Talbot
Always a great vibe that I enjoy. <br/>Had some half priced cocktails with friends as a last outing before the start of exams. <br/><br/>A little disappointed, however, at the increase in the price of food, compared to how reasonable Eastwoods used to be.
Tumelo Lathane
After a long and week I Came out to wine and dine in Pretoria but the service at this place is shockingly disappointing, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Thuto Mokgatle
One of the best Sirloin steaks you will ever eat. Great atmosphere, wonderful waiting staff and at affordable prices. Eastwoods is definitely a must see.
Janthinus Schrage
Eastwoods is central and offers a non-complicated dining experience. The ideal "kuier-plek". Their menu offers anything from great steaks to decadent desserts. Their cocktail special (my kombi) is a great and enjoyable treat and they have happy hour from 15:00 to 18:00 gives you 1/2 price on all cocktails. In my view: tasty food, worth a try and walk away satisfied and money well spent. They are now on my favorites-list!
Nicholas Halsey
Some very good food, however waiters are very rude, we actually had one of them scream at someone at our table. Not the most accommodating place.
Lise Ferreira
First time eating here. We ordered the Chicken and Meat Basket and it was the best platter I have had in a while. The service is not to great though. Great cocktail menu.
Sydonia Barreto Dias
Only been there after watching a rugby game otherwise i wont go there just to drink. Not the the place isn't welcoming or the staff isn't friendly but student budgets are tight and their drinks are expensive. We can never make it in time for the half price cocktails promo, maybe i need to try that. Coco island and Play-station are a must!
Cath Tatham
I have often has enjoyable meals at Eastwoods. However, my most recent visit was anything but. Service was unbelievably slow - we waited up to an hour for our drinks and food to arrive. I won't be returning any time soon.
Marnus Breed
To be honest, I have only ever been here before or after a game at Loftus, and typically the place is then packed with extremely enthusiastic Blou-Bul fans fueling themselves with the only liquid accepted by these types of engines - Brandewyn and Coke. This is basically the meeting place for all Loftus-goers.
Desiré Julyan
I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience at eastwoods over the weekend. We arrived to spend the evening there and was immediately told that we had to pay R200 for parking. Upon informing the staff that we require disabled parking, we just got waived away and told there is none. Eventually after parking and making the trek to the entrance we were told that there is cover charge of another R50. The initial service of the waiter was shocking to say the least. After receiving our drinks were were outraged to discover that a margarita pizza (no toppings) was R95.00 and it was not even the standard large size pizza! That by the way was one of the cheapest things on the menu. After recovering from my heart attack we decided to finish our drinks and spent the night elsewhere!
Brent Nel
We made a booking for a football game and all was confirmed. We arrive and due to a rugby game being on are told that its R200 to park and then R50 to enter, so we would have dropped R1200 before we even ordered our first drink. We where NOT told this over the phone but they insisted they did. Laughable. 2 rude managers literally said if you don't like it leave. The lady manager is a rude obnoxious belligerent commoner. We will leave, and never go back, and make sure we let everyone know what you think of customers... 😉
Kyle Philip Coulson
I like that there are always some sort of a special going on! They have good food but when the place starts getting full the service seems to drop drastically... It still stays a good night out!
Jacques Du Plessis
I used to love Eastwoods. It was one od my favourite pubs to watch the rugby at, especially if there was a big game at Loftus, unfortunately the service of late has been so poor, I can see myself going back there anytime soon. <br/><br/>I understand the poor service if they are busy, but the last time I went there was a quiet Sunday. The place appeared to be dirty and my food was burned. I waited 30min for my bill and 15 for my drinks.
Liezl Van Heerden
Went to Eastwoods on a Friday for some steak and chips - the 500g T-bone is on special on Fridays with free chicken livers or onion rings. I took the chicken livers which was unexpectedly good, went well as a dip for the chips :) food was good, we just struggled to hear our friends under the loud music that played from the time we got there at 8:30pm.. Suppose we are getting old ;) good value, slow service on busy nights
Kazam-foodie
Last 2 time we were there the waiters on both occasions got our orders wrong, had ridiculous waiting periods (as 1h 20min for a cocktail) and our food was burned! And the flies! <br/><br/>On both occasions the manager came to apologize and gave us a drink on the house but i do feel that at some stage they need to make some serious changes before i will ever go back.
Kayla Holm
Great vibe especially when there is a game on. Decent prices food wise and that is saying a lot for a student. Half price cocktails is a must!
Shae Leigh
Great vibe. Friendly barmen. Food is a bit pricey but they have great drink specials. Heaters and fires for those cold nights and a dance floor if you really just have to get your groove on.
Adriaan Louw
Bar meets Good food. <br/><br/>Several restaurant/bar establishments exist in Pretoria, however not all are successful. Eastwoods has achieved this with some success and being located on such a prominent corner all they really have to keep up is the service. <br/><br/>Great for a pub lunch or a quick drink after work this restaurant turns into a full blown bar as the evening progresses. I can recommend the T bone special for lunch and I have had the Pepper crust fillet. <br/><br/>It is unfortunately not entirely my atmosphere, but most people seem to enjoy it.
Michelle
If you are looking for a great night out with a dance floor this is the place . Parking is limited . There is a big variety on the menu regarding the food . Service is fast and everyone is always willing to help. This venue has an outside area on both sides .Great for a summer day . Most of the time Eastwoods are buzzing with people from morning till late at night . Parking might be a problem most of the time .
Quinton
Good food, good service.<br/><br/>If you're thinking of buying a bottle of Spirit there... Don't! Unless you're planning on a good night out. Average price on a bottle of booze is almost double/bottle! I can't say whether that's the norm though... Never gotten close to finishing a bottle on a night out! 😉<br/><br/>Outside seating was definitely a bit chilly, but nothing that couldn't be remedied by a good standing gas heater. Good thing there wasn't a wind! <br/><br/>Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Alot of the other ones that were standing around looked more interested in horse play amongst each other than paying attention professional service. <br/><br/>Enough booze and none of that would make a difference though. 😂
Travers Sagar
Some of my old school friends and I meet up at Eastwoods now and then. I have no complaints about the food, but the drink prices are rediculous unless you go for the specials. I'm giving eastwoods a 3.5/5 purely because the steak I had the last time I was there was glorious.

So the world cup rugby is approaching and this is the place to watch some good rugby at the same time have some great food to go with. The venue is amazing very specious and meets all your "venue" needs from upstairs to downstairs seating, to executive  and also casual outside seating. The restaurant is warm inside and outside because of there heaters gas and wood fire. I mostly enjoyed the burgers (patty) which are filling.This is good place to hang out with the boys watching sports while you feast away and enjoy the wide variety of alcohol to drink.
Wilna Bester
Friday night was freezing (Pretoria standards), but Eastwoods was warm with gas heaters, open fire places and the promise of a congenial evening ahead. It was packed, inside and out with an interesting mix of Pretoria's population: young students & elegant, dressed up or more casual older people. Drink orders came promptly and our waiter was caring & friendly<br/>My Chilli Poppers: delicious with enough-but-not-too-much bite, generous Cheddar and Cream Cheese filling.<br/>Missing the point was my Grilled Calamari Tubes with Lemon Butter sauce. They were rubbery and swimming in a thin liquid.<br/>My son's T-bone was perfectly cooked with mouthwatering Pap & Seshebo.<br/>No wonder the place is packed weather the wheather is fine or not<br/>:)
Liné Keet
WORST service ever with the most INCOMPETENT waiter ever! After waiting for 20min, a waiter comes and takes the menu's from our table without greeting. Then ater another 10min someone else comes to take our order but brings Lemonade when asked for Soda water, they then bring well done steak when we ordered rare. And after complaining, even the manager gives us attitude... #WorstRestaurant #PatheticService
Gary James Grant
It was the first time I was here and I must say it was something new.It's a super place.Good food,good music and good vibes. Just the service was a bit slow.
