A little city-scape venture thats just down the road 😏 With good music, markets, drinks and quality pizza there is not much that can go wrong. People were beautiful and full of character here. You might even find yourself playing in the sand πŸ˜„

Just went to check out the place..vibe was great, I ordered a whole pizza because they didnt have the r10 pizza slice special, even though its been updated on their Facebook page ,the reason I went. Anyway the pizza was not bad, I took the most expensive pizza, but the chorizo tasted off, just took it off.buy overall its great..

A chilled place to hang outSometimes there are comedy nightsSometimes upcoming artists grace the nightThe food is affordable, varies and very tasty...A very great vibe, depending on the day and how you feel. It closes up a bit late, therefore allowed you to enjoy there. I do however feel like their cocktails have very little alcohol in them, I have tried a couple of them and its still the same. You can sit inside or outside, also there is Sisha there (usual R100). Apologies for the lack of pictures to show..

Loved it & the music, I expected more of a Caribbean vibe/ reggae beats but I loved it anyway. Definitely a good spot to go to if youre not working the next day lol.

Love the vibe, food, staff are friendly. Place gets quite busy at times and waiting becomes an issue, especially with food. Would love if vegan options would be incorporated in the menu. Always accommodating to requests though and wonderful energies.

2 because we got quarts. Food, no thank you. Everything tastes home made, Pizza bland even with all the toppings still lifeless. If i wanted a chill etc, I could have done it at home. These people ddnt even know they were open. Suitable for students Only! Anyone use to quality food, this place is a mock! Just to drink, by all means

I have to say, the Pizza here is seriously underrated and is probably, in some way, one of the best Ive had. The prices here in general are great as well. Its an accessible place to come chill with friends that wont be daylight robbery for your wallet. Unfortunately, I cant guarantee that when you walk back to your car. Not a good area. Trust me, I get the vibe, I lived in the area for more than a year. Thats why I can say that this strip/area will never be my first choice to have a great time. I have to mention that our waiter, Mike, is a great guy and knows my friends by name. Always greets them and orders their regular drinks.

I feel like I should elaborate on my last review as I personally didnt enjoy myself here last time. I insist going with a group and getting a table, however the bar staff are super efficient, Mike is awesome and drinks prices are very affordable. It did get very busy inside previously which was a bit uncomfortable during these times but if youre seated outside then its not an issue. Most sports are shown live on big screens which is a plus.

Asked some staff - apparently no recycling system in place. So 20th century. πŸ™„πŸ˜Update: I cant seem to reply to your message. Thank you for the clarifications and information on all the social causes that Trenchtown supports. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ About the recycling: I think businesses can help the cause by being public about supporting the practice - it will help establish the norm that its an expected/right thing to do for consumers... even through the viability of (plastic) recycling is a bit of a joke - see Netflix Broken series, The recycling sham. But glass and cans are gold... 😊 Ps. I have revised my rating.

WORKING INDUSTRYMy family member applied to work there , but the staff were horrible towards them, constantly making them feel unwelcomed and uncomfortable. When recruiting new staff members make sure your staff team is welcoming and do not bring down the new comers. Not a good experience at all , we were customers at first but after finding out staff is not so welcoming to new recruits very disappointed
