Berties Mooring Restaurant Tavern

Bertie's Moorings Restaurant, Tavern and Pub is a staple waterfront dining destination situated along the scenic marina of Harbour Island in Gordon's Bay, Cape Town. Named as a tribute to legendary South African yachtsman Bertie Reed, this family-run restaurant and bar blends maritime heritage with relaxed coastal dining. Known for its expansive outdoor deck overlooking bobbing yachts, hearty casual fare, and lively weekend entertainment, it offers locals and tourists an authentic Cape harbour experience.

The spirit of ocean racing runs deep through the venue. “Situated in the Gordon's Bay Waterfront, Bertie's Moorings is a family run restaurant named after the famous yachtie, Bertie Reed.”. The interior features a striking, handcrafted oak barrel horseshoe bar built by Reed himself, making it a warm gathering place during the colder winter months when the indoor fireplace is lit.

The Outdoor Deck: A spacious seating area accommodating up to 120 guests, offering views of the marina and regular appearances by a resident Cape fur seal swimming between the watercraft.

Sports & Entertainment:
