Great location on the Waterfront, nice atmosphere, a nice selection of beers compared to other places in SA, but not that great. And the only really decent beer they had, Duvel, was sold out after the two nights we visited...

Although it’s in tourist central, the large patio and interior makes it a good afternoon watering hole. Locals do come here, too, of course. The beers are hit or miss. The 90 shilling and the Stout are my faves. It’s a bit more expensive than other places in the Cape or in SA in general, but still reasonable especially given the location. All in all, though, I prefer De Anker. It is also on the Waterfront. They have Orval and other yummies and they have a killer view, whereas Mitchell’s does not.

A great location at the Waterfront. A beautiful and rustic place. Nice service, Ok food and a ok selection of beer. The original owners are back since a couple of years. They improve their business over time

Very touristy location, but a great pub overall - my favorite in CT. Great atmosphere, great service and decent selection. Don’t count on having an erudite craft brew chat with staff, but they are attentive and good value.The house beers are serviceable and certainly better than any of the junk lagers you’ll find nearly everywhere.

Mitchell’s is located at the V&A Waterfront, the main tourist location in CT. It has a nice pub/bar atmosphere inside with a small patio outside. The selection of beers was not that great, and I didn’t try any of the food. It’s one of the better places in CT, but that’s not saying alot. It’s worth a stop if you’re in the V&A area.

visited on 2 occasions in 2008 and 2009, great location ,good beer english football upstairs on the big screen ,,unfortunately its the chelsea supporters club of sa,, not the place to watch spurs lose 2.0!!!

Visited early April 2009. Nice layout. The brew equipment has apparently been removed and beer is no longer brewed on site. Beers were good if not on the lighter side. The Scottish Ale was very good. Nice malt character with low hop profile and very pleasant alcohol strength. In all, the beers were very clean and well priced.

Been living in the Western Cape for 3 months now and staying for 2 more. I hit up Mitchell’s every other Tuesday to drink and watch some hillarious Karaoke. The ambieance is ok, its designed to be a traditional Scottish Ale house. The crowd is either silly karaoke people or soccer fans - all pretty significantly drunk. Not really a beer geek place. Service is fine, selection is weak, food is pretty standard quality bar food, but they have a nice number of options on the menu. The value is average - beers are 18.50 Rand, just shy of 2 US dollars. This is good value for the US, but not great value for here. Overall: if you are in Cape Town you should visit Mitchell’s, mostly because there aren;t any other real beer spots.

Been here a couple of times, start at the first tap and make your way down, the staff are friendly and keep you topped up food is good and when the weather is good you can sit outside, my favorite pub in SA
