The Bell Tavern
The Bell Tavern is a small pub in Belvidere Manor, Knysna, set in a restored farm building. It seats thirty-six inside, with a wood-burning fireplace and a yellowwood ceiling. The wine cellar is visible through a window in the floor, and the floor is made of ironwood blocks. Outside, a pergola seats sixty more.
The pub serves classic pub meals, including fish and chips, burgers, and pies, with craft beer and cider on tap. It is a short walk from the Knysna Lagoon, and the manor’s gardens surround it. The building itself dates back to the original Belvidere farmhouse.
The Bell Tavern is open from eleven in the morning until nine thirty at night, Tuesday to Saturday, and until five on Sundays and Mondays. Live music plays two Sundays a month, and happy hour runs on Fridays from five to six.
