What to Expect
Beerbab on Lawley Road is where Victoria Falls locals drink, a block off the main street and away from the tourist bars. Reviewers describe cold, cheap beer, a pool table and Zimbabwean rumba on the sound system. Warren (October 2022) called it the place “to hang with the locals and play some pool”, with “best prices for very cold beer”.
It opened as a brewpub, and Kudakwashe (November 2024) was pleased to learn it was the first female-owned brewery in Zimbabwe. Joseph (October 2024) reported that “they no longer brew their own beer”, so expect Zambezi and other local bottles rather than house drafts.
Food comes from a small kitchen just past the bar. Marc (November 2022) had “a very good sadza with beef or chicken stew” for two or three dollars, and a 2025 visitor wrote in German that the food was very tasty but the service slow.

If you want to hang with the locals and play some pool, this is the place to go. Best prices for very cold beer. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Just one block off the Main Street.
★★★★☆
They no longer brew their own beer unfortunately. Still a nice spot to stop in for a Zambezi or two.
★★★★★
There's also a small place to eat, entrance is just after the bar, with a very good sadza with beef or chicken stew for 2 or 3$.
★★★★★
There is a local cuisine restaurant which serves delicious Zimbabwean food. And ice cold beers
★★★★★
Great place to hang out with the locals, play pool, and listen to good music. They did not have any beer on tap when we were there Oct 4, 2022 but their selection of local beers and cider were good. And they are by far the cheapest bar in the area.
