Kitchener's

Medium pizza is same size as big. Music too loud. Server forgot to open our bottles. Wouldn't recommend wouldn't go back.

Amazing step back in time, great selection of beer, but a poor wine list with ridiculous prices. Pizzas is not pub grub. Boom-boom house music doesn’t make for an historic pub. Such great potential but decide what you want to be!

The new rival is awesome. Great bar area and Little Kitcheners serve delicious pizza. A true old stool city classic venue has been brought back, and it's better.

What a gem . Had an unexpectedly awesome time at this spot. The vibe is amazing, people and the place is too cool. They have a great selection of beers, they had 3 different cocktails (managed to get to them all ) and mouth-watering mini-meals, ribs wings, you name it . On my next visit, I'll definitely bring in a few friends for a chill. Thanks for an excellent service, and groovy music . See you soon.

Kitchener’s isn’t just a bar—it’s a cultural landmark and a second home for many of us. I’ve been going there and throwing parties for more than a decade, and it continues to be one of the most authentic, raw, and electric venues in Johannesburg. From the music to the crowd to the historic setting—everything about Kitcheners carries a vibe you can’t fake. It’s where DJs break boundaries, artists gather, and new memories are made on the dancefloor every weekend. Whether you're there for a deep house night, hip hop set, or just to hang out and feel the energy, you’re always guaranteed a good time. There’s something special about how the space brings people together—creatives, locals, out-of-towners—it’s always a diverse mix. And even with all the changes around Braamfontein over the years, Kitcheners has stayed true to its soul. It’s more than just a bar. It’s history, it’s culture, it’s home. Forever grateful for the memories and many more to come.
