If you haven’t yet headed to the eclectic and vibrant Stanely Beer Yard (44 Stanley, Milpark) then you haven’t truly experienced Joburg’s finest. The ambience is relaxed, fresh and friendly and boasts a huge variety of craft and local beers, boutique wines and an artisanal drinks collection. 

Their flavoursome food menu has everything from beer basted pregos and sharing boards overflowing with meats, cheeses and Mediterranean veg. 

And of course – there’s music: a mixture of blues, country and rockabilly. They have vinyl evenings on Thursdays and Fridays, live bands on a Saturday and a 60s/70s music themed afternoon every last Sunday of the month.   And on the first Sunday of every month Stanley Beer Yard hosts SA's biggest vinyl market from 10 till 3 pm.

If ever there was a trendy and relaxed spot, then this is it. Surrounded by old architecture and towering trees, they have transformed an industrial-looking building into a hidden gem.

Aside from all the music-themed events, the beer yard is also offering a Valentine’s Dinner, serving some of their top quality food in the courtyard.

Starters:  Deep fried crumbed halloumi and button mushrooms, served with a sweet chilli mayo dip or a Spring Salad, with crisp leaves, sugar coated walnuts, deep fried Brie and roasted baby tomatoes.

Mains: 300grm marinated baby back and belly ribs, served with shoestring fries, or 250grm rib eye, brushed with olive oil and chopped red and green peppers and chimichurri on the side. Mains served with a choice of shoestring fries or kool cabbage salad.

Dessert: Chocolate brownie and homemade halva ice cream

Included is your choice of a glass of sparkling wine, a craft beer or a craft cider.
