The sleepy town of Paarl recently perked up with the arrival of BarDi Bar, a funky new craft beer spot on the Laborie Wine Estate.

The decor is surfer shack chic with colourful lights, a real jukebox and an old kombie stationed behind the bar. The bar was an instant hit from the day it opened. Staff and patrons are friendly and super chilled and the permanent beautiful view over the Paarl valley and mountains makes this a perfect place to linger on weekends from lunch to sundowners. There is the tasting option of 6 different beers and the wall is hung with every other type of beer available to the thirsty patron.

A tidy tapas menu accompanies the setting sun view over the historic Laborie vineyards on the deck area, along with their renowned wines and a bit of local musical talent.
