For craft beer enthusiasts, Archer Bar & Eatery offers a string of local small-batch suds bottled and on tap. Patrons can choose from CBC, Devils Peak and more. A fan favourite would be the legendary Jack Black Weiss on tap. This unfiltered Weiss is surprisingly approachable and undeniably delicious.

From cosy lounging and intimate table seating inside; high chairs at the bar and the popular wide-open space on the wraparound terrace, this is a dining experience all Joburg food fanatics should experience.
