recommended

thirst @ 28 degrees east is a popular venue in the east of pretoria.

they have much more to offer than just being a bar and the menu is quite comprehensive.

quite a variety of craft beers and gin are available.

they also have a non-smoking side which is totally separate from the rest. the decor is very interesting, neat and tidy.

just a pity that the smokers are allowed to take up seating right outside the door and you can smell the smoke inside. non-smokers therefore also do not have the possibility to sit outside.

we ordered a pizza and it was really good and theservicefriendly.

all round a good experience.

i absolutely love this place. the staff tend to know me by name because i come so often, i'm always greeted with excitement and a good old hug. theserviceis fast and the waiters always have a great attitude.

your drinks and food are always good, i've never been disappointed. the pricing is fantastic and i must say i enjoy your chicken strip basket - it's bigger than me and only costs r40! most places charge you r70 and give you about 6 nuggets - you place about 20 in the basket. i'm delighted with this!

i am one happy customer.

worstserviceever. never even ate as it took hours for the starter. when asked to speak to manager i was ignored. avoid at all cost. best to go some where were the are service.

when walking into thirst i was greeted by a very friendly waiter who seated me at a table that i enjoy. i love theserviceaswell as quility. perfect place for a quick meal and drink. what's great is i leave satisfied every time.

nice hang out environment, perfect for all.serviceis a bit slow but i guess that's acceptable as they were quite busy. food very affordable. especially with their everyday specials. chicken dishes and pizza's is a must, and their ribs special is massive!! (1kg ribs)

thirst @ 27 degrees east is a local watering hole in faerie glen. dark and smokey inside.serviceby wellington was fast & efficient.
i had pizza margaritha with added chilli. to drink: brandy & gingerale with a slice of lime. the pizza's base was thin & crispy, covered with lovely melted mozarella. finely chopped green chilli added a pleasant heat without the burn. delicious :)

look, i had the chicken strips and i will gladly sell a piece of my soul for them! the amount of chicken for the price is unheard of (p.s. remember to order a sauce).the pizzas are good - but think i will only order those on tuesday & thursdays when they have their "half price" specials, i'm more of a crispy base wood fired oven pizza kind of girl. jalapeno poppers good, need to work on the coating.boyfriend's burger was neither here nor there.i'll visit for lunch again, they are just way too busy at night. our food arrived at our table cold and theservicewas quite slow.

came here friday for a night out and boy did i get what i wanted, the cocktails were delicious. i had the burger which was tantalizing and my date had the 1kg ribs omg i've never seen ribs that big they were huge and not bad on the taste buds. to end of the night we had shooters which was mind blowing i think more from the alcohol than the taste but enjoyed it.servicewas a bit slow but i understood the place was packed so our waiter did his best.

making my way to thirst right after work i had one thought in mind, i need to was down the bitter taste of s 8-5 job. it was however more than just a place to knock down a couple of drinks after work. the fingerfoods and pizza's are really good and strangely enough better priced than the drinks.

the much anticipated chicago style pizza was a bit of a let down, perhaps because i've had one in chicago and i feel this version was not on point.

theservicewas good and the ambiance of a pub/restaurant was good after a long day.

a nice place to do just what the name says... quench your thirst. it is informal and you can definitely socialize here until late. the food is also good, they have great pizza and ribs and snack platters to keep you satisfied. the manager also went out of his way to ensure everything is fine and to add something special to the menu like the chicago-style deep base pizzas. theservicewas also on point and friendly.

i experienced thirst @28 as part of a zomato foodie meet up. on arrival, we were treated to jugs full of mojito & margarita cocktails, perfect for a friday pretoria summer afternoon.

to be sure, thirst @28 is a pub and in that vein we were served baskets for starters. a great variety including mini-ribs, chicken strips, feta-stuffed chicken roll & beef kebabs among others. altogether, it was a scrumptious selection. that which was battered had a crisp feel to it: not too crunchy & not too much batter. just the right amount of batter & deep frying. the ingredients were fresh: especially the beef kebabs & the feta. a favorite amongst the group were the battered & deep fried feta-stuffed sweet piquante balls. a very interesting combo of flavors! my favorite were the chicken strips & the lightly breaded feta-stuffed chicken rolls. the chicken was moist, well seasoned & full of flavor & again, their feta took the cup for me. overall, i'd say this was the winning item in the basket.

the mains was pizza, which according to several reviews including jacaranda fm comes highly recommended as among the best in pretoria. unfortunately, i have to disagree with this. the pizza itself was just regular in terms of taste/flavour. imo, the best was probably the rib & chorizo. very meaty with a great tasting sauce base complementing the meat. the other selections, san tropez & the thirst, which is a vegetarian selection, were just alright. it's a thin base pizza, which is great but the dough base was slightly undercooked. the chicago style deep dish pizza is an interesting item on their menu. i think it's either you dig it or you don't. way too much mozzarella imo and not much else really for you to sink your teeth into...as much as it deep pan, it's not thick base, so there's that distinction. i thin kid you're looking for good gourmet pizza, you'll probably not like it. if you're less discerning/picky, you'll prob enjoy it especially if you're famished. it is after all pub grub.

theservicewas friendly and efficient. for a table out size, they didn't skip a beat. this would be a great venue for a quick lunchtime meeting, or a lazy sat afternoon lunch, catching a big weekend game or starting your weekend on a friday afternoon like we did.

oh how i'm craving these food while typing this!
what an amazing foodie meetup, we started off with some delicious margaritas and mojitos! had some delicious starter platters that i would definitely come back for!! theservicewas spot on and we had the best afternoon! perfect place to go with a nice group of friends!
try the chicken strips and deep dish pizzas! wow!

thank you thirst @ 28 degrees east for the awesome foodie meetup. i really did taste the love and quality in your food. greatserviceand happy looking employees. be aware foodies, due to the world cup, thier singles are out of stock and now only serve doubles :)

by far my most favorite "pub-lunch" place to go on a sunday. the people are laid back, theserviceis always friendly, food is always good and on a sunday i can get my pizza and my mojito at half price! sometimes theserviceis a bit slow, but the general kindness of the staff, the casual vibe of the place and the good food makes up for it all.
