The KEG

How to get there: Whilst in PMB, hit Townbush Rd towards Montrose and voilà, the KEG shall appear on your lefthand side.

Moving provinces, and packing up my life to start over has taught me a few things! No matter where you are, it's the people who make it. Friends, acquaintances, and family. Regardless of whether you count yourself as a people person, or not, having company makes things seem a little easier, and lightens the load. I've come to appreciate the little moments shared with the friends I've made in pmb. Not so often, but when we do get out, for a bit night or a small one, it's always put a smile on my face, and helped me get through the tough times.

I was never really a club person, or a bar person in Cape Town, and in PMB, the places to go are, well, limited, so I've come to adapt to my surroundings. The KEG was never my scene, always assumed as the bar for "older folk" and I've previously ventured in there once before, not of my own choice. But now, having made regular trips to the KEG, to watch the footie, or to have a drink, I've warmed up to it. I like the fact that it's not crowded, you can easily get a table to sit down at, and have a meal, and the music isn't so loud that it blares over conversation.

The food may be a tad pricey for a student, but the extra moola is worth it for the chilled vibe, good food and homey atmosphere. Definitely worth the stop-in, if you're passing by!
