Now, you may be thinking: how does one combine boots and bistro dining? Well, The Frog Boot Bar does just that! Located in the heart of Illovo, within The Courtyard Illovo (previously known as The Illovo Post Office Centre), this unique and quirky dining spot not only offers delicious dishes and refreshing drinks, but it also offers a little bit of retail therapy! Here's why you need to visit The Frog Boot Bar in Illovo.
Shop For Rugged Boots
The bar – owned by Yanky Woolf, Sean Haarhoff (the head chef), and Chad Crouch – is just the place if you're looking to merge boot shopping with a little bit of dining. The bar not only serves as a local watering hole, but also as a store for Jim Green footwear, which is known for its tough and long-lasting boots.
A firm favourite among farmers and game rangers due to their durability and resilience. Thus, the three boot bar owners are using this destination to expand their customer base and display these hardy boots to a bigger audience.
Enjoy a Beer From a Boot!
This is a fun addition to your visit! Totally optional, as you don't need to buy a pair of boot to visit their unique bar.
So, how it works is: when you purchase a pair of Jim Greens, you'll get a FREE beer to enjoy and sip on from a boot-shaped glass. It's quirky, it's fun, it's most definitely something different compared to your usual shopping and dining experiences.
Rugged Meets Industrial-Chic Décor
When it comes to atmosphere and décor, The Frog Boot Bar is a blend of ruggedness, sophistication and industrial chic. It's furnished with plenty of interesting and unique touches.
You'll notice the natural shoe leather chandelier created with various leather strips, as well as the leather crafted menu holders. The space is breezy and welcoming, offering seating that spans out onto their terrace. It's just the place to unwind and dine.
