The pub with the pool table is my favourite place to play some good games with friends

Paddys is a small place but its perfect for people who dont want the hassle od large crowds.If youre looking for a great place to have a drink and play some pool (or not), Paddys is perfect.

Great staff working there but the drinks are exorbitantly priced. There’s just no justification for the prices they’re charging. Needless to say that I won’t be returning there anytime soon. I can chill in much better places and pay way less than what they’re charging.Fun should not be a burden on someone but just that ‘FUN’

Great cocktails but a normal cider costs almost as much as a cocktail...

Service is always great and the food is sooooo good - I highly recommend the main basket or the chicken nachos. Theres no smoking inside so you can enjoy a game of pool without second hand smoking.

Good place to spend some time for beer, pool and watch your favorite game. This place literally doesnt get crowded. You can be sure of getting a pool table if not the choice of beer😬

The waiters greet you perfectly and offer the specials, which is nice and there job. But once you see rats running out from the kitchen you know not to eat here. Which could be fine if you can tolerate that and just there for a drink. Unfortunately there drinks are watered down, expired or just served in unwashed glasses. The night manager there even used racial remarks saying non black people are not welcome because they complain. I would recommend demolishing this racist institution

Pool tables and cold beer, whats not to like? Wish they sold cigarettes as there is nothing convenient or nearby in the same shopping center.

Paddys cafe was a good eating spot amazing for breakfast and it had a good atmosphere all and all that was the only place that my family and i went to to have food when we were there so I recommend it lots.

Great staff, please always tip them. But the owners are toying with their customers. Not what it used to be...overpriced drinks and small space. Even when they move (which they will) theyre making their customers pay for infrastructure and rent by over charging on alcohol. A beer (dumpie) is R30!

This pub and pool room has been open for many years. Recently upgraded and beautifully updated. Well stocked bar. Good sports screens. Pool tables and equipment well maintained. I am not a gambler, so I did not try the slots, though the room looked good. I will return to try the food. Outside seating for us smokers - could be chilly in winter.

Awesome bar. Good food. The bar and restaurant are separated, which makes it cool if you bring under 18s or non drinkers.

Review №27

Food took long to come when it eventually came it didnt taste up to standard we only ate because we were hungry. Steak was full of fat and the bread or bun wasnt as fresh. They only had 1 steak available by the way, out of stock for steak and milkshakes. Very disappointing experience

Ga
Review №28

Awesome atmosphere, especially during sports. Plenty of TVs to watch the game while enjoying a good beverage or 3! Plenty of pool tables available to test your skills against other patrons. Service is top notch!

I rated it 4 stars when it was a large pool hall. Now that they have downsized to include a restaurant it has lost some of the charm for me

Pleasant Caffè where you can drink or eat, play pool and Goldruush machines at the back, smoking outside only even then you might be asked to stand away from the tables

Service was OK. meal was not worth the amount of money I spent. A small side plate (more like a handful) of chips for R25 - way overpriced for what I received.

I went on a Sunday afternoon, and perhaps that contributed to the incredibly poor service, but I still found their beers to be very expensive.

We used to go to Paddys every Friday after work . After the re-vamp you lost the Irish pub vibe . Now it feels like a coffee-shop...
