Description

Alright, let me spill the beans about Livingstone in Hatfield, Pretoria, ‘cause this place is a mixed bag for sure. Tucked away at 1215 Burnett St, this bar is where you’ll find folks cozying up with a beer, catching a game, or just grabbing a bite after a long week.

Now, it’s got a solid reputation, sitting at a score of 4.1 out of 5 from about 145 reviews. Not too shabby, right? The vibe? Super lively—perfect for students and anyone looking to unwind. I mean, who doesn’t love some good drink specials? Livingstone’s has that down pat, with “buy one get one” on beer during certain hours.

However, let’s spill a bit of truth here: not everything’s glitter and gold. The food seems to be hit or miss. I’ve heard whispers and shouts about chicken strips that are more batter than bird, and the wait for food can feel like you’re watching paint dry—40 minutes, sometimes longer. And, sure, there are tales of a waitress who might not be winning any “Customer Service of the Year” awards. Yikes, right?

But hey, on the bright side, the atmosphere is buzzing, especially during sports events. Picture it: friends laughing, drinks clinking, and the thrill of the game all around. It’s cozy enough to kick back and chill with your mates, and they’ve got outdoor seating too, which is always a plus when the weather’s nice.

The owner seems genuinely invested in creating a warm, friendly environment, which is refreshing. Plus, they’ve got bar games to keep you entertained when you’re not noshing on their pizzas or a “hangover special,” which sounds like a lifesaver after a rough night.

Oh, and if you’re driving over, parking’s not a hassle—street parking is free, and there’s a lot too. All in all, Livingstone’s offers a pretty good time—just maybe don’t set your expectations too high when it comes to the food service. You’ll likely have an enjoyable evening if you go in with the right mindset!
