Drink Of The Month: Jagermeister
From the shape and packaging of the bottle and the colour of the liquid within, at first glance one might believe that Jägermeister is actually a very expensive medicine. The thick-glassed curved bottle with its slightly alarming orange and black stag logo suggests that it may contain an assortment of pills powerful enough to cure [...]
Barrels Bar- A Favorite Place
For the past year visiting Barrels Bar has been a fairly integral part of my weekly routine. Friday night is reserved for a drink and a meal (and perhaps another few drinks) in this cosy establishment and many an hour has been spent sipping a Windhoek, listening to live music, reading the eccentric quotes and [...]
Drink Of The Month- White Russians
A White Russians is a drink heavily advertised by the 1998th blockbuster: “The Big Lebowski”, in which Jeff Bridges takes on the roll as super relaxed hippie Jeffrey Lebowski, who gets involved in the mob-scene due to a case of mistaken identity.

Situated just off Bismark Street and attached to the ever popular Kapps Hotel, Rumours Grill is a little wooden shrine to good meat.

At the same time the English Government imposed a heavy duty on all imported spirits but still allowed Gin to be produced. This created a market for poor-quality grain which was not [...]
BAY VIEW REVIEW
The word on everybody’s lips this April has been crayfish so it is only fitting that we sampled a little bit of this scarlet seafood, and where better to munch some lunch than at the ocean-themed Bay View Hotel. Located on Bismark St the Bay View Hotel is a single story building painted with the [...]
Served At Sea Breeze
As with to Ritzi’s Restaurant one of the most stunning things about the Sea Breeze Café is its location; looking out over the waterfront and harbour the glass fronted café provides a beautiful view of blue seas, blue skies and a distant horizon of golden sand dunes making it a nice place to spend a [...]
Drink Of The Month- Jameson Irish Whiskey
Jameson triple distilled whiskey is a middle-range Irish whiskey. The whiskey is best described as smooth with the slight sweet taste of the oak casks in which it was matured. Though not compatible with top-range whiskey this whiskey has secured a good spot in the upper mid-range and leaves a number of equally priced whiskeys [...]
