"First of all, the service was beyond amazing it was great. The food was perfect and very big portions. The drinks were out of this world. If I had more money, I would have tipped more. The vibe is so nice that you don't want to leave. There is a barbershop and salon next to it. You can cut your hair and have a beer as a combo. Please visit this place if you want to have fun."

"This to me is the best spot in Bloemfontein. From the food to the drinks & service, absolutely amazing and well thought out. They even offer ladies “help” when Aunt Flo makes an unexpected visit in town (posted on the toilet doors). Tanya was an absolute delight and her love for Bloem comes through her aura and the menu she puts together. If visiting, do yourself justice and visit Brew & Still, you’ll be fed and hydrated from their on-tap bar. You’ll leave full & zen!"

"Every time I visit Bloemfontein, I have to visit. My favourite thing about this place is the atmosphere and the vibe. I enjoy the tasting plates and having a selection of 5 out of 20 on tap drinks to choose from for only R65. The food is also good and well priced in comparison with other chained restaurants. Would definitely recommend it."

"We had a mother's appreciation day and it was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. There was a lady, she was very friendly from the beginning up until the end. She even asked me what the occasion was. Thank you so much, I'm not sure but I think she is the manager. The only downside was that our waiter KIMBERLEY, when making payment, we gave him a tip and he gave me a funny look, saying that's not the usual tip he gets, he normally gets more. He looked me in my eye giving me a irritated look while saying that. I was so shocked at that. And after that he didn't even greet us upon leaving. But overall, the place, the food, the music is very amazing. Thank you, I would definitely go back."
