Wow wow wow. What an amazing little pub. Best managers who actually cares about their customers and staff. And all the waiters always friendy and quick to help. And ofcourse quiz night every Thursday is just added bonus to great service

Excelente management, pet friendly and cool patient well selected waiters.Edit: Returned to the local focal on a Sunday for a meal and drinks with friends and was greeted by Mark One of the managers sincere and welcoming we were served by Nyasha we had some nachos and popcorn chicken complements to the Chef as the plates returned clean. I do recommend a visit to the Local Focal.

Its feels very homey. It has a nice outdoor section as well as an upstairs. There is just such a nice vibe about this place. Their food is also superb. I had a cheese burger which was amazing, but their chips are to die for! They have live music too which is pretty chilled to come and watch

Great place. Great staff. Pity its so large and unoccupied on a Sunday Lunch Time, as itd be perfect for a great venue for exactly that. Dead quiet today 09 December 2018 (Sunday) at 13H00. Owners / Management nowhere to be seen. Bad. But, a great place. Such a shame.

We had our monthly treat and enjoyed our meal, the service was good but this time was an exception. We were seated in our car when a gentleman knocked on the window introduced himself as the new owner and inquired whether we had been given pensioners discount. When we told him that we had not asked for one, he took our slip and quickly returned with the altered slip and difference in cash. I was truly impressed and will surely recommend this delightful place and will surely pay a return visit.Thank you so much.

Nice and chilled placed with friendly waiters who are always around and as soon as your drink is close to being finished they are there asking if you want another round. Good music and great specials make this a good place to chill with friends and family

Very disappointed by the awful service here after the change in management. Complained to the manager and was told that I was wrong about my complaints. Managers disposition was aggressive and even confrontational. Definitely wont be coming back.

Took twenty mins to get acknowledged and served. Other patrons did not experience the same problem because they were not darker than 17:45. 24 years in and employees still want to be mastered.

I am a regular. I knew the Keg and crow and didnt mind the change in ownership.Tonight made me seriously question that.Bad service. 20 minute wait for a black label. Manager made it seem like it was my fault. Agressively asked me what I wanted from my complaint after I complained. and ... And ... And ... Yeah. Not my local.

Mexican themed restaurant located in Van Buuren Rd. The place works as a dual restaurant /bar and the food is surprisingly good and very well priced. The service was efficient and friendly. I will, however, say that the overall vibe of the place is lacking a bit, it seems a bit tired.
