Welcome to Marina Pub and Bistro, a delightful culinary gem nestled in the heart of Marina Da Gama, Cape Town. This vibrant restaurant combines the charm of a warm local eatery with an inviting atmosphere that encourages patrons to unwind and savor every moment.

At Marina Pub and Bistro, you’re not just getting a meal; you’re indulging in the true essence of comfort food. The menu is brimming with enticing options that showcase both hearty and seafood delights. For the adventurous diner, the Chilli Popper Burger is an absolute must-try! Picture a succulent 150g beef or chicken patty, elegantly topped with creamy cheddar, zesty guacamole, and a bold bacon-wrapped chili popper, all nestled within a perfectly toasted sesame seed bun – delightfully satisfying for just ZAR 135.00.

If you're in the mood for something lighter yet equally delicious, the Fish and Chips made with 180g of succulent hake, encased in a crispy craft beer batter, delivers a delightful crunch that pairs perfectly with crispy chips and tangy tartare sauce for only ZAR 140.00. Every bite offers a taste of the ocean that will transport you straight to the coast.

But what truly sets Marina Pub and Bistro apart is its vibrant atmosphere – an infectious vibe that wraps around you like a warm hug. As customer Meagan Abrahams describes, the restaurant is known for its "best vibe," where the attentive and friendly staff make you feel welcomed as soon as you step through the door. Regular patrons like Quentin Arendse praise the ambience as being remarkably inviting, complemented by chilled beers and heaps of laughter. With live entertainment such as karaoke nights on Fridays and special offers like the rib special (2 for the price of 1), the nights here are anything but ordinary. The welcoming presence of the team, especially the humble TJ, adds a personal touch that keeps guests coming back, as Wendy Bonthuys highlights with her glowing review about their readiness to accommodate special meal requests.

In a nutshell, Marina Pub and Bistro is more than just a place to eat; it’s a community hub where memories are made, flavors are savored, and friendships are nourished. With every visit, you'll be greeted by warm smiles and delicious plates that make you want to linger just a bit longer.

Every time I've attended the MP&B which is regularly, I've had a really lovely experience. The food is great, beer is chilled and served with a warm and inviting smile. Thank you TJ and your team. Uncle Q

Cool spot to hang, nice local, food was good and service was pretty decent. I'll reccomend to try it. Could do with a big more pig plants surrounding outside area just as a finishing touch, where the picket fences are.

Great vibes and friendly staff. The food and pizza's are great! Every Friday night is karaoke nights as well as a delicious rib special (2 for the price of 1). This is only for eating at the restaurant though, no takeaways (on the rib special).

I have been a resident in Marina for over 26 years. We need a place close by and convenient where families are safe and happy to meet up. Keep up with the great food and service, we love it. Good job on keeping the place safe and family orientated. Keep those unruly and noisy ones at bay, glad you are laying down the law.

Marina Pub and Bistro is one of those places where everyone knows your name, where you will meet people who come from all walks of life. Best of all, you will eat great food, you can enter a potjie kos competition, have a quiz night, karaoke or just sit and have a drink. I definitely have fun there, some amazing people go there, and some crazies which I love, so all and all, it's not the sexiest spot, but it's a real gem in Muizenberg.
