Live music, restaurant and bar in Colbyn

South African music, up close.

A restaurant with a small stage and some very big names on it. Come for breakfast, the pizza or a cold beer, and stay for the show.

A platform for South African musicians.

For years our little stage has had Koos Kombuis, Vusi Mahlasela, Dan Patlansky, Anton Goosen, Jan Blohm and Roan Ash on it, and plenty of new names too. The room is small, so you're never far from the music.

In between, we're a neighbourhood restaurant: breakfast and coffee in the morning, family lunches, milkshakes, and the pizza our regulars swear by.

  • Can't tell you enough how lovely the staff and owners are. Their pizza is fantastic and I was lucky enough to host my music school's year-end function there.

  • Great food, coffee and milkshakes. They have live music performances on a regular basis, with acts like Roan Ash, Jan Blohm and Koos Kombuis. The restaurant is pet friendly.
