#4. The Great Railroad Brewing Company
What started off as a hobby, is now a fully fledged craft beer microbrewery in Shaka’s Head on the Dolphin Coast just outside Ballito.  We are currently producing eight international favorites.

“We have eight different styles: Our Czech Dark Pilsner, German Marzen lager; Bohemian Pilsner, a classic Pilsner with a twist; German Weiss beer; Irish Red Ale; Strawberry Ale, a Belgian Witbier (made with bitter orange peel and coriander), and our latest and most popular our Ballito Belgian Ale.”




#5.Old Main Brewery 
OMB was started by 2 brothers in Kwa-Zulu Natal a couple decades ago. That’s right. It was years before everyone and their neighbor started launching craft beer into the market. These boys experimented making their first beer (out of pineapple and any other fruit they could find) before they learned to drive a car or kiss a girl. Getting their boarding school friends good and plowed on a regular basis, they were possibly the first bootleggers in history under the legal drinking age.

Real SHISANYAMA @ Classique Braai Lounge in Hillcrest Residents and visitors of the Durban Upper Highway will have a good reason to meet for juicy braai meat and delicious African cuisine, in an upmarket setting. Classique Braai Lounge is a concept born out of passion for good food and a warm social vibe. It is well positioned between Durban and PMB for business people to come and network in relaxed yet conjusive environment. Entrepreneurs and residents of Hillcrest; Langa Sithole (47), and Sandile Dlamini (36), saw a gap for a braai lounge within easy reach, in a premium setting.  “This will be an establishment where one can enjoy good food and pleasant ambience. Dwellers of our arrear normally travel over 50 kilometers to get the taste that tickles their fancy. So we decided to bring it closer to home,” says Sandile. “We also are targeting that exclusive market, with a good ear for crisp, timeless, South African and jazz music. Offering good food won’t be com...

The Locals !  Colombo Coffee – Durban North A long standing favourite in Durban, The Factory Cafe recently moved their premises to Durban North and consolidated their name to Colombo Coffee. Roasted on site, Colombo Coffee is one of the top specialty coffees in KZN. The coffee shop rotates through their unique blends, namely Aggressive Chocolate, Fedora Classic, and their Sweet & Clean blend. They have also introduced a delicious Summer blend and they sell a number of incredible, top quality single origin coffees. The new shop can be found on Kensington Drive in Durban North and they have a display full of yummy chocolate brownies, cakes, and muffins. This is my favourite coffee shop in Durban. Not only are the staff super friendly but the coffee is just superb. So many coffee shops around Durban are using Colombo Coffee so that says it all.  https://www.col...
