Nick Hamman visits the iconic Barney’s Tavern on the beachfront of Nelson Mandela Bay. This Eastern Cape favourite is known for its cold beers, legendary hospitality, and the dish that made it famous: the perfectly crispy, incredibly tender Eisbein. 

For more than 40 years, Barney’s has been a beloved South African institution. What began as a bold family venture grew into one of the country’s most trusted seaside pubs, offering great food, warm service, and a front-row seat to the ocean.
