Cape Town’s oldest tavern, the Perseverance Tavern, is thriving again after a major revival.
Built in 1808, the historic Buitenkant Street landmark is widely regarded as the oldest pub in South Africa and now operates seven days a week.
Recent renovations uncovered original slate and sandstone walls, while its bar, made from oak wine barrels dating back to the era of Simon van der Stel, remains intact.
A historic courtyard vine has also been successfully revived with assistance from Stellenbosch vintners.
The fully operational tavern now serves daily meals, broadcasts sport and continues to attract both locals and international visitors.
