Went there using the entertainer app, they had no problem with it. Fish was really good unfortunately the quasidilla didn't have much taste. Service was a but slow but waiters very helpful
Decided to go for lunch with some colleagues.
The place is very well set up allows a large group of people without seeming too full.
The service however was terribly slow, when the Food did eventually arrive it was very dry and a bit of a let down. Will have to give the Food a miss next time, but the cocktails are always great :)

I used to go to this news cafe a lot in days past and can remember quiet a few happy evenings there. I think it is great for casual weekday afternoon drinks or even pre drinks before going out on the town. I have also ordered food from them for delivery and it was good. They often deliver sandwiches and breakfast to me office.
The new menu has variety and meals are decent. Not consistent with service delivery as we found hair in our meals twice on the same sitting and same meal.
The very best venue in Sandton on a Friday evening & night for drinks and some great pub-style food. The waiters and waitresses are extremely friendly and helpful. Our favorite waiter is a gentleman named Bruce, he is superb!
First lunch stop. Delicious cocktails and their wholewheat pulled pork wrap is full of flavor. Great service and a nice outdoor/indoor space. Big variety on the menu. The staff are very friendly and their service is great. Would highly recommend for a drink or lunch .
Excellent vibe in the evening! Great music! I really loved our waitress, she was so on top of things! Drink orders came out really fast! She always stopped by when she saw our glasses were getting empty. The food order did take some time getting to the table. Best place for a Friday night! The food was about average but an all round great experience!
Sept 9 evening: Catch up time with a colleague friend. Went actually looking for The Baron but after GPS took us to wrong lanes, we decided to abandon our search and instead landed at News Café. The outside area was under renovation but since my friend is a smoker, we decided to sit out. Ordered for beer and some fries. Service was quite quick in getting refills for our beer. The fries were crisp and salty. The ambience inside was good though a bit dark.
I like news cafe Sandton cos of it's buzz, especially on a Friday night. News Cafe makes the best cocktails, with the Cosmo bring my favourite. Also luv their nachos & potato skins:-)
Nice setting... Good Music... Good Ambience... Staff over here is very friendly... Rates are alright and service is good! You see many local people arriving here to have some good time. Its good place to have drinks with friends and chill out! Nice to see people having good time around in generally deserted town at night like Sandton in Johannesburg.
Amazing food great atmosphere 👌 😋 loved the staff very friendly and attentive atmosphere and music awesome
Great place to have dinner and drinks, whether it's just going out with your friends or as a couple, the music was great the dj kept us entertained but I'd have to disagree with the service the waiters there never came to clear out our table after we ate. We had to change tables
This place was lit, i enjoyed the food as well as the vibe. Service was super slow tho but it wasn't a major issue because we were chilling.
The atmosphere was very nice and chill.
Amazing every thing. For me best space in Sandton to relax, have a drink and chill. Perfect music scene, enjoyable company and atmosphere.
Revised review:
Visited on the 21st September, ordered the basic sunrise breakfast to see how they fared with the basics....was good, with great service as well. So I guess just some work required on the more challenging dishes to improve, good going team
Have visited this News Cafe a number of times in the past year. Afternoon drinks on a Friday gets a bit busy, however they're usually quiet during the mornings and during the week.
Unfortunately been disappointed a couple of times on the breakfast menu, so they've lost me as a patron there for a short while.
The first time was a Benedict which was overdone for soft and a very vinegary Hollaindaise and the next time it was the Choc Flapjacks, which were a little too eggy and also done to a point that it was dense and burnt.
Did speak to the manager who was pretty good and addressed the kitchen team immediately on the issues, Thanks for that.

Located on the cnr of Fredman drive and Gwen Lane inside the 24 Central building this Newscafe is as old as Sandton it’s self. I always says it’s 2 energies , during the day you come for a delicious meal for lunch and at night it turns into a club vibey scene without the entrance charge, Shooter girls walking around ready to fill your tank with a variety of shooters .It’s like the go to spot after dinners around Sandton when you just want to hang , be around a nice energy. The staff is always on point , the place is always clean yet when it becomes Night time the manning of the ladies toilets decreases unlike during the day. The prices of alcohol and food is good value and that kitchen produces some real tasty meals. And ...well ...let’s just say your a single guy looking to have a good night this place has also an “interesting” wide variety of individuals to accommodate the lonely and bored. You just can’t go wrong at this Newscafe . have fun and make friends easily.
Nice place and simple day vibes. As day turns into night, the music and ambiance also assume similar trend, making this a spot to be.
Great coffee and food. Great service given by Noma, who was so polite and friendly. Mondays to Fridays, nice and quiet in the mornings, which is a good start to a busy day.
I really enjoyed the vibe here , the music 🎶 was 🔥 🔥...lit crowd and atmosphere. It was just a lituation 😎.
I highly recommend the jagershots very well mixed 👌
I am definitely interested in going back.
