Hennie's Durbanville Restaurant
Hennie's Durbanville is a sports bar and grill in Cape Town, named after a bull terrier belonging to the founder. The space is filled with TVs, each with its own decoder, so you can watch your preferred sport from any seat. The menu leans into South African flavours, with burgers, pizzas, and other grill dishes. The atmosphere is lively, especially during major sports events, and the walls are decorated with photos of Hennie and other family members.
The bar serves drinks alongside the food, making it a place to gather with friends for both meals and drinks. The founder drew inspiration from American sports bars but added a distinctly South African twist, from the menu to the playlist that plays in the background. The restaurant operates on a first-come-first-served basis, and the kitchen adjusts its closing times based on the number of patrons.
The sports focus is central to the experience, with the TVs ensuring that no game is missed. The menu includes four signature pizzas named after Hennie and his family, each with its own unique toppings. The restaurant is a spot where sports fans can watch games, eat, and drink in a relaxed setting.
