Good friendly service, vibrant atmosphere and quality food
We come here often with my family for their grilled wings and great drink specials because quite frankly no one in Pretoria, and yes we've been looking, has come close to their style flavour of the chicken or their properly made blue cheese sauce. Food is packed with flavour (especially when they have food specials going on) and if you have not tried their Dead Chef hot sauces then I would strongly suggest that you do if you like a bit (or a lot) of spice to your meal. Service has always been great and waiters have always been welcoming. The atmosphere is vibey and a great spot to meet up with friends, catch up on stories while welcoming the hangover for the next morning.
Baracas is by far the best pub in pretoria.
Delicioua affordable food, decent priced brandy specials. Friendly and helpfull staff. You’ll always leave Baracas having had the best of times with old friends
Fabulous bar and great service from the staff from start to finish. Will definitely be spending more time there getting my face totally stuffed with their awesome food.
Good old Baracas, have been going here for years and always end up having a good time. Staff is friendly but could be more efficient at the bar. However, this is a place where you can just enjoy the company of friends, and even a few random strangers. Never eaten here, but having a drink with some mates never disappoints.
My favourite restaurant/bar in Pretoria! Best food, great service and the best venison burger in Southern Africa ! Lekker vibe and great place for watching sport live!
Baracas' burgers are beyond delicious! The onions rings and chips that acompony them are just as good. Perfect meal to enjoy with friends while enjoying a drink as well.
Great atmosphere. The burger special on a Tuesday is mouth watering.
Awesome place to meet up with mates for a quick bite to eat and enjoy their beers.
If you want a good burger and tasty chicken wings, great place to go to. Love the fact that you get to sit in a 'beer garden', yet you sit under a big tree, listening to the rustle of the leaves
Not sure if they still do the Tuesday special on burgers, but if they do- just do it. Big patties, with all sorts of tasty goodies that has the greatest of parties within your mouth. It feels like the burger buns have gone smaller though and they aren't as fresh as they used to be. Still great burgers.
Decided to have drinks and dinner with friends here. Phoned and made a reservation for 8 people. When we got there they didn't reserve a big enough table for us. The table could only seat 6 people. Friends had to sit on high bar stools next to us. Not very comfortable. The outside seating area is a bit dark, would have been great if they had little lanterns on the tables to be able to read the menu. Service was ok. Food was great! And the craft beer was good. Would think twice before going there again.
Nice place to go to with friends. Good atmosphere with reasonably priced pub food which was of a good quality. Just drinks would be perfect as well. The separate bar area has a party atmosphere with contemporary and classic rock music. Cigars and whiskey are also available. Showed football and rugby. Open fires in winter are a great addition.
Baracas, you never disappoint me! ❤️❤️❤️Great place for lunch, and also for weekends with friends. The service is brilliant, the staff is friendly and helpful. The vibe is very nice, it feels like a "classy" pub. They've got a lot of beers to choose from and you can get coffee, even if it is late!
What a hidden gem! The friendly staff made every effort to find me my perfect craft draft.
Guess what? Their burgers kick some serious ass! I had the Gourmet Chef's Burger. The lamb patty was cooked to perfection and the trimmings elevated it to another level!
Awesome and friendly staff, also very attentive. The food is absolutely delicious! Also a very good selection of craft beers and other drinks. Nice outside setting, makes you feel right at home.
Quality service and excellence atmosphere and vibe , will visit very soon .
Went to watch the rugby and got greeted by friendly waiters and then enjoy a fantastic meal
Had a fun night with the girls, love the trendy atmosphere and the decor, really beautifully designed.
Nice and busy, was nice to be in a place that was full, drank a few beers and had a few shots, Jaggermeister was served nice and cold!
Our Barman, Duncan was so helpfull he helped us very efficiently and fast, he even kept my Laptop for me in the office, so I could actually relax while I have a drink!
The food going past us looked amazing, very delicious! Would love to have a bite there sometime!
The place could use a little more ventilation regarding smoke, but it wasn't so bad that it ruined the night.
Definitely coming back.

With Wine Wednesday to replace the dull "hump day" for the perfect description for the middle of the week-this is the bar for yupsters (yuppie hipsters, cool huh?).
Not your average watering-hole; here you become acquainted with the "Manager" and if you are a regular visitor the faces will seem familiar.
The place to be for a delicious lunch and crafty beer... Friday nights Baracas is the place to be for some girl time wine or for some meet ups with friends
A pub yes, but a pub with brilliant food in huge portions. And a long list of craft beer. An energizing ambience on Saturday evening. In the separate bar area was a thirtieth birthday party- it had been positively cooking!
I had Beer Battered Fish served with home made tartare sauce, a delightful fresh salad and old fashioned slap chips. The fish was flaky and cooked perfectly.
My husband had the Makulu Burger: 2 patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, fried egg, beef schnitzel & cheese and pepper sauce. Topped with huge onion rings and served with slap tjips.
Ambitious to say the least!
If you come to Baracas, be sure to come hungry. Quantity as well as quality food with friendly service
Drinks with the coworkers. Had some really old whiskey and some really fresh food. Overall I enjoyed the place, and I liked the atmosphere. Service was decent, but not the best in the world. The Pub food is really great, and I can wholeheartedly recommend any of the baskets.
Great place to hang out! Service was good even though t was completely full, with people waiting outside for a table... Recommendable to anybody who wants a good variety of beer and a tasty snack!!
Surprised by the quality of the food! Definately not what you would be expecting from a bar. The prices are fantastic for what you are getting. The chef adds a unique take on burgers and offers mouthwatering desserts. The atmosphere of the upmarket bar assists in enhancing the layed back dining experience.
Nice place to have many different beers. The burgers are good and the staff is really nice. They also have a small fireplace.
Great food and drinks at affordable prices.
Very relaxed vibe with great service
Good burgers and tasty potato chips, onion rings are a little oily and need a bit of work. Great selection of beers.
Awesome atmosphere. Can recommend the grilled wings and grilled prawns
The food is absolutely amazing! A favourite of mine and they have the most divine platters to share. Their chips are out of this world. The service is good and the waiters are always friendly! A beautiful out of doors experience.
Great place, great atmosphere, great food, great winelist, great all around...my happy place!
This is a great place to visits after work to grab a drink and just unwind. They have a grate selection if drink and also offer craft beer by draft or bottle.
The place normally attracts a party crowd later into the evening and becomes rather busy but each to their own when it comes to joining or not.
They also offer a nice food selection, from meals to baskets, something to eat before going crazy with the drinks.
Overall a great place to come unwind.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and an accommodating environment for a group of friends on a night out. Only aspect I did not enjoy was the kind of music played (modern hits that students will appreciate) but it won't keep me from returning. Will enjoy many more happy nights there. Big thanks to the staff.
Great food and real value for money. Staff is slow during the less busy times and a bit more on the ball during very busy times, but always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Great for when there are major games - rugby, football, etc, - happening!
