Varsity Pub
A shisanyama-style pub on the same yard as the butchery. Pick your meat at the counter, have it braaied, and sit down with something cold.
What's on
Bottled and canned beer, quarts, ciders and the premium spirits people ask for: whisky, brandy, gin and vodka, with ice and mixers. Soft drinks, water and energy drinks for the drivers.
The meat comes from Varsity Butchery & Braai a few steps away. Order a platter or choose your own cuts, and it is cooked on the fire while you settle in.
Good for
- Friday and month-end after work
- Big football and rugby matches on the big-screen TV
- Birthdays, baby showers and family braais without doing the cooking
- Stokvel and club gatherings; tell us in advance and we reserve space
