Social Eatery & Bar – The Heartbeat of Knysna
As one of the most impressive restaurants in Knysna, Social Eatery & Bar is a vibrant hub where locals and visitors converge to enjoy authentic local cuisine, craft beer, and exceptional South African wines from unique estates. Located within Knysna Hollow, our space combines edgy design, eclectic music, and a menu crafted by Executive Chef Grant Ludski, featuring locally-sourced ingredients.
Start your day with our healthy and hearty breakfasts, then savor light café-style lunches or bar snacks in our Bar Lounge or sun deck overlooking the pool. For dinner, choose from a casual burger and fries or a romantic three-course meal paired with special South African wines.
Our private dining venue, styled like a wine cellar with a barrel-vaulted brick ceiling and hand-crafted wood and leather furnishings, accommodates up to 16 guests. It’s perfect for intimate family dinners, special occasions, breakfast meetings, or business gatherings, offering privacy and full audio-visual facilities with an outdoor balcony.
The Social Bar invites relaxation at any time of day, but especially during sundowners on our outdoor lounge or sun deck. Enjoy ice-cold craft beer from Red Bridge Brewing Co., explore our specialty gin & tonic menu, or taste rare South African wines from our glassed wine cellar. Using the La Verre de Vin® wine preservation system, we offer a selection of wines by the glass, featuring both traditional estates and innovative new-world winemakers earning international acclaim.
