trademarx restaurant & bar

an awesome place to spend time with friends and family, especially on weekends when there’s live sport on.goodfood, great vibe and an all round fantastic time - trademarx is a must visit for pretoria natives.

we went to watch local club game on loftus "b" veld limpopo vs griffon's, and there after we moved over to trademarx for the bokke vs frans game, 
the hospitality wasgoodand our reserved seat area was nicely clean and setup to watch the game on the big screen. 
the food we ordered at half time was served even before the 2nd half started, no complaints from the family and portions was so big, take away had to be requested.
i had the combo, calamari & hake, all well presented, fresh, and tasted great, 
will recommend this for all sports lovers

on previous visits to loftus, i have always enjoyed stopping in at trademarx for a beer or two before the game (and avoiding the traffic) so naturally, after buying tickets to yet another game at loftus this year, they came to mind for the sa vs australia game on the 1st october. i then emailed through a booking request for a 12pm lunch at this restaurant and some pre-game beers. 

sadly, though on this occasion, in all my dealings with adri-mari harrington, not only have i found her to be unhelpful but also quite arrogant and rude. today, after yet another follow-up call to her regarding my email trying to make a lunch booking (both telephonically and by email), she then informed me that due to the popularity of their establishment on the 1st october, we now need to pay r250 per person just to book a table there on game day! this kind of fee i can understand if we wanted to block up a table and just have drinks, but i think it is complete daylight robbery when we are a table of six wanting to eat lunch. 

oh and the kicker - she then told me that parking tickets to park outside will only set all of us back another r200 each. 

- r1500 before our table has even ordered our lunch or we have covered our parking.. 
- just add another r1200 for the six of us driving from johannesburg and wherever else we live if we would like to park outside the restaurant. 

clearly, spending our hard-earned money to eat lunch at their restaurant is notgoodenough! 

*recommendation: aint nobody got time for that kind of arrogance and customer-service with a restaurant who are clearly preoccupied with milking their location rather than gaining a loyal customer base. we will all be eating elsewhere where our money (and the attitude to service) is at pretoria's wonderful standards that i have come to know and love.

great spot to relax with friends and have a few drinks, the atmosphere is invigorating and the drinks are atgoodprices if you catch the happy hour special on time, i ordered a 2 for 1 special and the burgers were delicious, can't wait to return here!

trademarx is a restaurant/bar at loftus versfeld rugby stadium.
before and after big matches it is packed with thirsty fans having fun. views over pretoria and loftus's b field are impressive.
yesterday lunch it was a ghost town - dead, quiet and forlorn.
still the cosmopolitan was punchy.
we had cherry sosatie wors with pap & sous and the mexican burger & chips.
the meat wasgoodquality and tasty - perhaps precooked & heated?
a gooey mass green avo (processed) dotted with four halved peppadews covered the mexican burger. what a dissapointment! the chips were good.
on fridays they have a braai menu with traditional sides like braaibroodjies, potato salad, grilled sweetcorn etc.
service by jack was sharp.

big sports bar!goodon drinks and burgers. oh my word, you know, the thing is you'd expect something very classic and boring from a sports bar, however, i enjoyed a greek burger here and was pleasantly surprised. omg and the passion fruit cocktail is something to call home about. if you want a place to relax after work and just talk crap with the friends at a reasonable price then i most definitely will recommend this.

the rib wrap omg it had to be my opening the wrap was mouth-watering
if i could i would have it every day that's howgoodit was, it’s a pity i can’t
say the same about the cocktail i was a bit disappointed. the service was
efficient our waiter was quick on his feet. well given the fact that it was my
first time in a sports bar i had a great evening, will definitely come back
again for the wrap.

reallygoodfood, effective and efficient service awesome venue. very few places in pretoria offer this kind of setting. it's also cool to sit between some of the top rugby players in the country whilst enjoying your meal.

good service andgoodfood, lots of specials.
the trinchado is a must to try, happy hour between 8 and 9pm on most drinks. agoodplace with a nice vibe.

had an absolute fantastic time with zomato at trademarx a few weeks back! who could say no to wine by the liter and pizza by the meter!goodservice from nozzie and great r&r's!

i went to tmx for a foodie meetup and was really surprised to see how the venue has changed. i was last there in 2010. we were given a menu starting with a trinchado in either beef or chicken. the chicken trinchado was really tasty and filling so i struggled to get through the other menu items. i must admit that i did manage a few ribs because they had been done so well. trademarx is perfect for agoodpub lunch. it's not fancy food but it's well made and it will sit well with a beer or the rnr cocktail.

came here with a friend for lunch today. great atmosphere, here. i always have loved the vibe at trademarx. i ordered the american gourmet burger and it was fantastic. the patty was perfectly juicy and pink in the middle. i can absolutely recommend it if you enjoy agoodburger.
