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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Woah! Now this is a place I really underestimated outside looking in as I passed all the years I was in varsity.
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
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 :(
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.
Definitely need to return for the food to update my review!
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Bar meets Good food.
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.
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.
It is unfortunately not entirely my atmosphere, but most people seem to enjoy it.
Good food, good service.
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! 😉
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!
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.
Enough booze and none of that would make a difference though. 😂
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.
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
My Chilli Poppers: delicious with enough-but-not-too-much bite, generous Cheddar and Cream Cheese filling.
Missing the point was my Grilled Calamari Tubes with Lemon Butter sauce. They were rubbery and swimming in a thin liquid.
My son's T-bone was perfectly cooked with mouthwatering Pap & Seshebo.
No wonder the place is packed weather the wheather is fine or not
:)
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.
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.
Lovely place, beautiful aesthetic. Very big and spacious. Safe parking. Delicious food. I will definitely be going back
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.
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.
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
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 😋
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.
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.
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
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
