Nicole, a waiter at Aandklas will rob you.. When she thinks you are too drunk to notice she will charge you for alcohol you never got. When we asked why are we paying for more than what we have she claimed we spilt it and it fell over but there was nothing to show for it.. After that she says she has a lot of pull in this club so we cant do anything about it..Wouldnt recommend
Karaoke nights are always amazing on Tuesdays!! It was fun. And the food is good
If you the life of the modern 2k party theme. Then this place is definitely for you. You get all types of vibes and different people. Dont forget to order chicken strips and the brandy special
Always an awesome place with a great vibe. one can go with friends and have a great time or go alone and make new friends. the people are consistently approachable and friendly.i’m a little bummed that Thursdays are no longer hard rock night though.
Nice little place to hang out with friends, good specials on drinks. Although its in not the greatest part of town and quite a few beggars outside later in the evening, but other than that it was great
Really fun place to go to wind down and connect with open minded people. The drinks are strong and priced well. Found zero to none flaws, just wish they had more vegetarian/vegan friendly options, other than potato chip and Margherita pizza, truly miss their jalapeño poppers. But I still give a 5 star rating!
Drinks on discount all day! Gets packed very quickly, so get there early! Great vibe, dominated by young students. Friendly to all races. Great place to grab a drink with friends, just dont ask the caucasian waiters by the bar for sanitizer, theyll tell you to go all the way by the entrance to sanitize which is silly because sanitizer should be convenient for customers, so thats kinda the only rude thing me and my mates have experienced there more than twice. Can you just sanitize customers if we ask for sanitizer by the bar, dont tell us the counter is sanitized when over 20 people keep touching it when fetching their drinks. Overall the waiters and waitresses are cool people. Also they dont have speakers outside so you dont get to hear nice music unless you go inside which also kinda sucks if youre a music lover wanting to sit outside and enjoy the place in fresh air, youll only get to enjoy hearing other peoples conversations. Its just better to come here as a group.
Aandklas is the perfect place to visit when in the mood to kick back, relax, enjoy a beer, catch up with some friends and listen to golden rock music. No judgement on what you wear, eat, drink or even with who your with. Everyone is accepted as long as you show some interest in the music. Dancing on the tables in the evening is a common student attraction (dont knock it till you try it) and their weekly specials is also an amzing quality that makes me loyal to their pub. Service is good but their music is better. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a good time!
Aandklas has some of the best cocktail specials on Hatfield for any student and trust youll have a great time on any of their activity evenings. Theyve got a great mix in demographics however I feel that their music just needs to be a bit more inclusive and theyd attract much more people. Definably a great stop to make if youve never been in Hatfield as the setup is a memorable one!
Too crowded, and expensive drinks but overall pretty cool vibe!!
Probably one of the best places to hang out if you’re a student or young adult. Music is always awesome, the bartenders are friendly, and the people are amazing. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to have a fun night
Good vibes and good times. Nice comfort food. Good recommendation
Staff is cool, food is good and drinks are actually reasonably priced. During the week these different games and activities, quiz night is actually great.
Pretty chilled place. The vibe is good, the food is nice, customer service is not bad at all.
Still a great place for classic rock, Aandklas is primarily focused on making you have a wild night. Dont be fooled by the quiet relaxed atmosphere during the day and early hours of the evening... this place gets wild. Also, their food is great, so dont be afraid to pick up a menu
If you’re young and in the mood for drinking, this is your place. If you’re older, probably not.A bar come restaurant that relies on very basic decor and furnishings. Pizzas and burgers are good and there’s always action at this popular student hangout.
Witness the funk. Best waiter ever.
AffordablePerfect place for day cocktails cause you get twoI was there for the Sunday special of 2 burgers and Chios for R50. It plays cool music. Open mics are fun.I dig this place.
Been around for years. Very cool consistent service.
Amazing atmosphere. Diverse people. Every time Im there I have a better experience than the last time. Staff are friendly and Hella sexy.
Nice cold drinks 🍸 😋
Nice place, I went there in 2013
As a student in Hatfield, Pretoria, this is the go to bar. Drinks are incredibly cheap and the cocktails are well made. A buy-1-get-1 free special runs till 6pm everyday and every night has an event that usually attracts a full house. Also a great place to meet new people.
Open mic session on Sunday evening was enjoyable. Air quality and lighting is definitely below par and should be improved. It is not a great idea to watch the live performances if you cannot deal with cigarette and vape smoke. Very friendly people all around and super easy to strike up conversations. This is not a high-end hang out... very chilled and informal.
Aandklas is such a magical place.It looks pretty dingy when you first arrive and thats because it is a little bit dingy, but that just adds to the personality of the place. The vibe is really fun and wholesome; the music is amazing; the drinks are good; the people that you will meet there are people that anyone would want to be friends with; and dancing on the tables is completely acceptable. They have a lot of fun things to do like Quiz night on a Wednesday and Karaoke. I would definitely choose Aandklas over the strip on any night. Go experience it!
Horrible experience. Hatfield is full of better places without the cocky staff who treat you like you dont deserve the time of day. Strange to think I used to love this place. Good luck with your kak attitude. Wish you all the best, we wont be returning.
My favourite place to dance. Its one of those places where you can just have fun. Most nights they start the night off with well-known (old and newer) music and then end the night with more head banging music.The vibe is great and the drinks arent too expensive.They also have a quiz night on Wednesday nights which is great!
Music choice was nice, but the person singing wasnt the original artist (and wasnt a live band playing covers but recorded audio). Drinks are much more limited than expected. But other than that, good atmosphere.
This place is a great place for students. Its not an expensive place for drinks either. They play great music at this place but its not for everyone. They mostly play alternative/rock, indie/rock, alternative/indie and classic rock. Great rusty vibe going on there as well
Best rock and alternative joint in the city. Has a more mature atmosphere about it. The bar tends to show some great artists over some weekends. There is however a minimum swipe of R100 so be prepared.
Amazing as usual. It honestly gets better everytime Im there. The music is always insanely good, bar staff are friendly and helpful. The venue itself is always in good condition. Ive gone back many times and intend to do so in the future
I live here. I have been coming to this place since 2011. Good food, booze, and awesome music. Something different happening every night, so theres something for everyone. Enjoy!!
Best place to have a few drinks with your friends and relax. Live music and drink specials. Perfect for students.
Aandklas is basically my home... Its a hard Rock bar that is accommodating to everyone. We might look a bit scary but come on in and have a jol. You wont find a better place to go absolutely mental 🤙🏻🤘🏻
Can be a hit or miss. When the music is good and the place is packed its really something every student should experience once. Music has gone down the last couple of years and its quieter and quieter each time.
Always an amazing place to go for a night out. A bit disappointed that the music has changed so much. It has become less rock n roll and more commercial.
Staff are great and friendly. Also, wildly attractive. Food is great for the money you pay. Always find myself going back.
Great bar.
Very nice place to have a few drinks of a few good friends, more aimed towards students, but all would feel welcome.
Its such a vibe... I cant go a month without visiting AK. Great staff, they are all so friendly and forthcoming. Affordable drink prices. Some great music to jam to, or even get on the table and break it down to.
Incredible bar. Great place to hang out with excellent music and chill vibes.One of my personal favourite places to go if Im looking for a fun night out. Would recommend.
Great music and drink specials.Plus you get to dance on tables... no more need to be said.
Its way too dark inside aandklas. Especially during the day.
Really cool place to hang out on a Friday night with friends. Drinks are cheap and music is great when they have live bands! Also, Sunday night is open mic night which is really awesome!
Ever felt the urge to dance on top of tables? This is the place you should be at then. Great atmosphere. Amazing back to the old school type music and good times for a party.
Very nice place especially for sitting outside in the afternoon. Good food at good prices.
Super chilled vibes, friendly people, wait staff, and affordable drinks.
This place has been an open home to many, the beer is always cold, theres a drink special for everyone, and the food is amazing! As for the music, no contest. This isnt some techno club, this is Aandklas!
Best bar in Pretoria for sure. Great live music acts and open mic nights oj Sundays are fun to attend and see some local talent. The shooters are a must try with plenty interesting options to try from. Also definitely try the pizza surprisingly some of the best pizza Ive had (no jokes).
Great venue for live gigs! The crowd here loves high energy shows, very professional management and friendly staff
Went for Pirate Fest tour, audio quality was mega trash, toilets are mega trash. Ive been to different pubs and bars and at the very least they have running water and soap even those with homeless people chilling outside and with slot machines everywhere. Theres only so much charm a dingy pub can have. Do not play at Aandklas unless you have your own audio crew. Food and drinks were alright I guess but considering the above its a health hazard.
I love this place. The people are friendly and the drinks are affordable. Theres always great activity on evenings, from trivia night to beer pong. The music is great too
Absolutely my favorite place to party as a student. Entrance is usually cheap, and some nights its free. Wednesday is a insane quiz night! Drinks arent exspensive and food is great (pub style). Only downside is visiting events, ad the space is overcrowded then. Otherwise great fun, only place you get to dance on tables :P
This place might seem a bit sketchy as its in a sketchy part of Hatfield. Dont let that turn you off though because the vibe inside is amazing. The music they play is usually classics which is nice if you just want to dance or sing a long. The only bad thing is that they have a R100 swipe limit. So make sure to bring cash for drinks
Friendly staff. Amazing prices. Awesome place to be at.
Fun 2000s-esque rock bar. Tacky collage wallpaper with pictures of pop rock icons and band logos, super casual environment and dancing on the tables if thats your thing. A fun selection of cheesy rock throwbacks and South African (especially Afrikaans) tunes. Good for a wholesome student night out. Live music often.
Nice chilled place to spend an evening with your mates. I recommend the meaty platter that they serve, think its very well made. Could change up music at times and become a little more diverse, and also speed up the waiting times for food.
Fun place to hang out and listen to some legendary music with some drinks. Food is also good. Great vibe and you dont even have to dress up.
Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere for a jol or just to chill with friends. A place to dance on the tables.
1st time back in years. Aandklas has the same vibe and feel. The place for old school rock and dancing on the tables.
Great place to go to! Awesome music, drinks and food! If you havent been and youre a party person you definitely have to go!
Awesome Vibe, Rock music is in their blood. Bathrooms need some work. Go if you want to enjoy yourself without feeling Judged!!
Great people and the service amazing Always busy so great place to mingel
Caters for everyone but lost the edge of Rock n roll.
Probably one of the coolest places in Pretoria!The music is off the chain and the people are so friendly, and by some odd (but freaking cool) tradition, everybody dances on the tables. One of my favourite places to party at. Definitely a must see
Old School Rocks!Although it has taken a dip from its glory days, it is still one of my favorite spots in Pretoria.Lekker dingy vibes, cheap booze and a whole lot of rock and roll. Also students hey.Great place to cut lose.
Awesome place for funky music lovers, very loud and relaxed mood. If you just wanna be a bed set free do swing by and make sure to order their shots Satans whisper is the best
The place to kick of your all stars, let down your hair for a mosh pit, and have drinks with some awesome people! Great staff
Beautiful bar/pub/venue/village, if you are a student. For the older generation this is not really your place to go.
Such an amazing place with a killer vibe that is like no other! We go every Wednesday night for the quiz night, and honestly its like no other experience in the world. ❤
Great vibe, great drinks and yummy food.
Old school rock bar. Not your average chilled night. Expect dancing on tables, hard rock and some metal 🤘, especially on hard rock Thursdays and weekends. Wednesday quizz nights.
So its official you guys and girls. If you want to have a great night with great friends all being as sober as can be this is the place for you. Theres no brandy, theres no vodka, theres not even a drop of gin. They make you pay for doubles yet you only get a single. Theyve got a great atmosphere (well only if you think that everyone around you is mad as hell because you try and order one thing yet they dont have it so you try and order another yet they dont have it) this place is great for when you dont think that the day has made you made enough. Enjoy your drinks before this place shuts its doors because the managing team is going to bring this place to the ground. Lets all lift an empty glass to this amazing managing team you guys because it might be your last. :)
One of the best bars in Pretoria, with variety of things to do through the week!
Very comfortable place to chill and have fun with some friends if youre not into too much crazy... Great old-school music and cheap drinks! Service is very slow and nonchalant though.
One of the last surviving night spots in Hatfield. Always was a great option, still is. Great music played and is almost always very full. Just a pity that the Hatfield experience has been dulled by the loss of the rest of the Hatfield night scene.
Will always be my favourite place on a night out. Friendly and helpful staff and great atmosphere ❤️❤️
I always have a good time here with my friends. The atmosphere and service are the definition of cheap and cheerful - a great place to go in your Saturday civvies and relax.
Its a great place with cheap drinks and great music. You can chill at a table OR dance on them ,, which makes it suitable for the entire group! If youre in PTA you have to go atleast once!! Just do it
Food is AMAZING.Drinks are cheap.People and nightlife is AWESOME.Best place to get your party on.Hahahaha
Its always a fun time at Aandklas, known for their rock and alternative vibe, feel free to get on the tables and jam out to nostalgic rock anthems, or hang out and play some Pool and Foosball. Its a great place to hang out with friends and meet new people
Great vibe, with a lot of 2000s and earlier rock music that will have you singing and dancing all night. Fairly priced drinks and a great place just to let your hair loose.
This is a great place to come with mates and have a good jol if thats what youre looking for. If you get the opportunity, go to one of their quiz nights, its a really fun experience.
Great place for students to hang out and have fun, but not great if youre looking for a club vibe.
Best place in Hatfield! Love the vibe! Love the music! Just an all round amazing place!
The place can use a bit more style
Never had a bad night here. Would definitely recommend. Parking is on the street so just keep an eye out.
Always love the specials and live bands night i always have a good time
Great student bar. The music is always loud, and the drinks are cheap. Many a fond night that you dont remember will be spent here
Food and drink is cheap but the atmosphere is a bit stagnant inside, outside is built like a cage with no view except buildings right around. Ive been there twice and both times it felt more like a funeral home than a jol / pub.
Dodgy at best. But it looks like a fun student hangout place. Smells like Jeyes Fluid. Affordable drinks. Shabby toilets and facilities.
Friendly service , nice vibe.
