Love the way skål looks, each time I walk in theres something new, it keeps your eyes busy for hours. The disco fries are to die for (its just a bit smaller than it was the last time I ordered it..) the staff can be a bit friendlier too. Overall love the place and would highly recommend it.

Pretty chilled place and very clean, I went there to get something to eat and drink. I ordered wings and I have to say they were really delicious. Hoping to go back one day with friends.

Ordered the skal burger via mr delivery. I liked how everything was packaged with care and individually wrapped in the container.The burger was absolutely amazing. Definitely something to try again.The fries were a dry and hard and too salty

I thoroughly enjoy the bar area. The food is great and drink selection is local perfection. The menu is also diverse enough to satiate different moods and tastes. A slight better ventilation system for the bar - which is a smoking area - would go a long way.Great place to play chess and other various board games while having a drink.

One of the last bastions of alternative in the Northern suburbs. Love it to bits.

Fantastic vibe, delicious food (and they cater for vegetarians). Love the décor and the theme. Will definitely visit them again. Only problem I had is that they dont have a lot of wine options for people like me who only drink wine.

Such an awesome dining experience! Felt like I was in northern Europe, in a bar that only plays metal and rock. Also one of the best burgers Ive ever had the pleasure of eating!I highly recommend this place if you love metal or rock and love great food and drinks!Will definitely return

Handicap access on request. Friendly staff. Well priced. Interesting decor. Enjoyable music. Everything you expect from a local watering hole, done to standard and beyond.

Fantastic dining experience! The place has a grungy-southern-biker type of vibe (but somewhat more refined). The Southern chicken burger I ordered was delicious and they are generous with their portions. It is also quite affordable and it is possible to have a burger (chicken) and beer for under R100.00. I was there early on a Sunday afternoon, so obviously the place wasnt packed. Nevertheless, I imagine it picks up later since they only close at 02:00 am. Note the awesome Star Wars pinball machine. They also sell Boston Coffee which is always a favourite. Great experience!

Decent enough spot to come for a beer. Good variety of beers, the music was great and I enjoyed the chicken burger. The wife felt a bit old and overdressed. The theme is alternative, bear that in mind.

Didnt eat there but the bar area is really small and cramped and there is either no music or the quality is so bad you can only hear people

Review №15

They always have a beer special on. R70 for two of their house beers, which is really good. I think its a lager.Love their poppers and Wredekloof burger too.Nice overall vibe

This is not a biker bar although it does come up on Google search as such - They do not allow anyone with a Club Cut into their establishment.

Review №19

Considering Covid and we were quite a big table it was dissapointing that the waiters did not seem to happy to seat us or assist us even thought the restaurant was quite empty. Maybe it was because we just wanted some drinks but if we felt more welcome we would have probably ordered food.

Review №20

Very disappointed, we used to love ordering their salads especially when the portions were so generous and where value for money. Just received my order today and your portions have halved in size, will not order from you guys again.

Very unique place, with friendly staff. The only problem was that there was not a lot of space in between tables so it was a pain as I had my baby with me in his stroller.

Idk. Its advertised as a craft beer bar. I saw three craft beers available. It is certainly not a craft beer bar. Disappointing.Edit: You are correct, you dont advertise as a craft beer bar so please accept my apology. I picked up the reference to craft beer from a couple of reviews. Thats not your fault, its mine. Ive amended my review accordingly.

If you like rock and roll music, food and drinks, Skål Bar is the place to go. They offer board games and good vibes. Their mix options are limited, so I could not order something like a screwdriver, but other than that I would definitely go again.

Small well staffed and well stocked bar with a barista counter and coffee shop area that also sells burgers. Trendy/Folky/Hipster style decor, it attracts an eclectic mix of suburban patrons. Ive not tried the food or coffee, but had fun going for drinks.

Great pub atmosphere, friendly service and an off-beat menu with attention to detail which I enjoyed. This is basic pub fare with a difference : the owners are clearly aware that vegetarian and vegan options need to be considered. There are not a lot of dessert options, but just reading about that banana milkshake was droolworthy. I opted for a delicious hot chocolate, topped with cream. Relaxing place for friends, with many interesting beer and cocktail options to choose from.

Great music with a warm atmosphere. They have craft beer on tap as well as a selection of bottled beers. The Southerner chicken burger is a must! This is where you will find the difference between a burger and a darn good one. Will recommend.Smokers at the enclosed bar area. No smoking in the seated area. Fireplace keeps it warm. And a pinball machine if there is a queue for the restrooms. Skål!

The burgers are absolutely perfect, but thats not what has me leaving a review. Our mate had low blood sugar and basically passed out, but the bartender and her colleagues handled the situation so perfectly I felt like I was in a medical care facility. The real concern and willingness to assist in that situation was far beyond my expectations. Absolute respect for the staff there. Could not have asked for more. Thank you!

Pity there is not a 4.5 star rating. Food was amazing and music brilliant. Did not go there to watch the soccer though, however the music videos were original and fresh. Their Jack Daniels ribs are mouth watering with the meat falling off the bones. Recommend to all to visit, at least once.
