I hope that it was purely by coincidence that we so happened to go to Perseverance for the very first time on Friday the 13th, only to experience the worst customer service ever. Our friend promised us the best pizza ever and cold beer, along with some live music.

We received one round of drinks and no menus. After ordering our second round we never saw our waitress again. After 30 minutes I went to check for our round at the bar. The bar lady told my friend and I to go back to our table and wait.

Our waitress was too busy serving their locals and was very good at avoiding our table. The manager was even better at avoiding eye contact and ignoring us waving our empty glasses at him.

We were almost scolded by the bar lady again and sent back to our table a second time when we had had enough and wanted to pay!

For a place that claims to be the oldest bar in South Africa they could do much much better.

Never again, we are done! They will never see us again. The original proprietors would be so sad.

Tuesday night R50 a pizza special! Pizza's are delicious. Their bangers and mash are out of this world! Very friendly staff and great service. They also have a DJ on Tuesday nights. Certainly one of Cape Town's gems.

A fantastic old school pub that has unique energy. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the beer and food are really good. There is very limited on street parking which can be a bit a of problem nevertheless I would highly recommend checking them out.

In my opinion it's a classic Pub.. Friendly stuff and just chilled. Beers are always cold the music is always nice.

The atmosphere here is fantastic. There is ample seating available, and the service is very good. The food is also good, and they are very reasonably priced. Parking is a bit of a problem, but given the location this is to be expected. Having a drink at the oldest bar in South Africa is definitely an experience I would recommend.
