Old Sailor Swakopmund

October 8, 2025

I was looking for a light dinner, a decent beer and a pleasant rustic atmosphere. The Old Sailor met all these. Good service accompanied Andy’s Bratwurst and the draught Hansa. A real log fire 🔥 made for a cosy early evening dinner. The toilets were clean and the environment conducive to unwinding at the end of a busy day.

Great pub, with a chilled atmosphere and good music. The beer is great. We had wings and bratwurst and it was just okay. I would come here again for a drink, not necessarily the food.

Really fun space and atmosphere, exactly what you imagine when you think of a fun bar. Got some of their pizzas to go, they were pretty good. Overall really nice place.

I have never been treated with such unnecessary disrespect at a restaurant. My friends and I came in for drinks and dinner, only to be singled out and humiliated. Before I even entered, the owner stopped me in the parking lot and told me to “go wash my hands” at the shop across the road — simply because I had eaten a small snack outside. Once inside, he again sent a waiter to tell me the same thing. As if that wasn’t enough, I was handed a mop and told to clean a supposed “mess” in the bathroom that I hadn’t made. Out of sheer dignity, I mopped the entire bathroom just to avoid escalating hostility. Finally, his bouncer was sent to stand over me and order me to finish my drink and leave immediately. This was not just condescending — it was degrading. I came to support this business and instead was treated like an inconvenience. I left shocked, humiliated, and with no intention of ever returning.

Really good food, staff is nice and the place is great. You might have to wait a bit for your food to be served, but it's great and fantastic. I had the prawns, maybe a bit overcooked but tasted good. The meat was served just as ordered, one wanted it well done and another mid rare, and both were spot on and very juicy. For starters we had katfish, wow! And snails, with cheese, the taste was great but if you are really snail lover, it might be too much cheese. Taste is good, though.
