SPORT and happy hour at the spookhill bar

Hi everyone... Just a quick update, we had DSTV installed a few days ago. So from now on you will be able to come to the bar area, enjoy a nice drink and maybe even something to eat (Our home made game burger is amazing if I may say so myself) while watching all the sport your heart desires!

As a added plus we have decided to include TWO happy hours (hours = nights) every week. The first will be on a wednesday night as a midweek break for everyone and the second will be on a friday night as a good starting point for your weekend. The happy "hours" will start from about 5 in the afternoon so no one will have to miss out because of work and it will continue untill the bar closes that night. With discounts on selected drinks and cocktails it promises to be a good night for all and we look forward to seeing you here soon.
