For years The Bay Sports Bar & Restaurant was the place in Constantia where families, rugby fans and locals met up. It sits in the old clubhouse of the False Bay Rugby Football Club, next to the Constantia Sports Complex. You get a bar inside, tables outside over the rugby field and a spot for kids to play while the grown ups watch the game.
This guide brings together what the venue offered: the food and drinks, lunch specials and happy hour, the Sunday roast, live music on Saturdays, functions and of course rugby.

The kitchen kept things simple and filling: juicy burgers, chicken schnitzels, pizza, steak and light bites, plus a breakfast menu and a menu for kids. Coffee, lattes, cappuccino, tea and hot chocolate were always on, and the bar carried a wide range of beers, wines and spirits. Free WiFi was there for anyone who asked.

Rugby on the doorstep
Few sports bars in Cape Town have a rugby field outside the window. False Bay RFC has played at the Constantia Sports Complex since the late 1960s, and on match days you can watch the 1st XV, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams, the U20s and the women's side. When the Springboks play, the Test goes up on the big screens inside. Read about False Bay rugby.
