A
Fireman’s Arms
Boxed in by new apartment blocks, this old-time survivor (here since 1906) is likely to be around for a while longer. Inside, the Rhodesian and old South African flags remain pinned up alongside a collection of firemen’s helmets and old ties. Come to watch rugby on the big-screen TV, grab some seriously tasty pizza or just down a lazy pint or two.

Mitchell’s Scottish Ale House & Brewery
Check all airs and graces at the door of South Africa’s oldest microbrewery (est. 1983 in Kysna) serving a variety of freshly brewed ales and good-value meals. Their ‘Old Wobbly’ packs an alcoholic punch. Next door you’ll find another pub, Ferryman’s Tavern.

C
Castle Hotel
This historic pub, dating from 1900, has three rooms once frequented by the lawyers, police and criminals who lived and worked in the area that it once bordered: District Six. Expect political incorrectness, nicotine-stained walls and cheap booze. There's a surprisingly smart restaurant upstairs .

Perseverance Tavern
This convivial heritage-listed pub, which is affectionately known as Persies and has been around since 1808, was once Cecil Rhodes’ local. There are six beers on tap and you can order decent pub grub, such as fish and chips (R47).
