Enrico GiambattistaMay 12, 2015Very nice old style soccer pub, the devil's pick first lager (golden ale) on tap is unbelievably good!
Aidan de NobregaMarch 16, 2014Always the best place to watch Formula 1 or football . Several flat-screens, a projector and surround sound make for an awesome experience. The food and coffee is also well-priced and delicious.
Rouen SmitJune 10, 2016Great vibe. Their Thursday Quiz Nights are he best quiz nights in Cape Town. Their pizza's are enough for two people: a lot of toppings.- Yajna GoldNovember 3, 2014The bacon, avo, feta pizza was amazing. Friendly staff and great place for drinks
CapeTownMagazine.comMay 24, 2014Good place to watch games - especially when there's two games at the same time - two screens outside!
R99 Prawns a definite winner. Super tasty and cooked perfectly. Washes down well with an ice cold beer from the tap!
An Cape Town institution. One of the oldest pubs! And such a great one!
Luce MarthinusAugust 18, 2014Just about everything is good at firemans!!! Their pizza's are insanely good!!!
Christopher de KlerkMay 13, 2015Damn good pub. Great for watching sport and decent food. Pizza's are not that great.
Zara LangfordDecember 24, 2011If you are going to try the fire pie... Best you lived in Durban for 5 yrs! Whooiiiiihahh!
Thursday night is QuizNight. For 20 R you're in. Food is good but seriously overpriced!! Look out for the cat in her armchair!!
The special on 4 square is only during the week, come on guys structure your specials properly.surely your marketing department know what they r doing? Disappointed. But great vibe.

Wian HattinghSeptember 30, 2014Didn't like. Avoid. Attracts lots of Europeans when sport is on. Cheap alcohol. Smoking allowed inside.
Foursquare special is not on anymore. Someone needs to update this!
Kim HJuly 28, 2015Something not right about the pizza. Not cooked for long enough and horrible cheese.
JoNo NienaberApril 30, 2011Pretentious and very over priced - it looks like a pub but thinks it's the Grand - great atmosphere and beer, just don't eat here.
Scott HadfieldMarch 29, 2011Came on a tues afternoon and they refused to honor the special. Service was very slow too, but the food was good at least.

The Fireman’s Arms dates back to 1864, describes itself as an English Pub and it probably comes as close as anything in the colonies does. It is festooned with old and characterful decorations (on a fire fighting theme). It is comfortable and a host of regulars prop up the bar.
