If you’re anything like me, you’ll be completely against going into a club / bar where the music sucks, especially if the club is mostly playing commercial or even worse, POP / R&B / HipHop / RAP. Luckily a new place opened for likeminded people, a place where you’ll never hear sokkie music (if it can be classified as music) or any of the crap you’ll get in places like Preslys (where the bouncers look like Debonairs’ delivery people), Nkitas (where the people dance like chickens and think they’re really cool for mastering the nandos move), Player’s Pub (where under 18’s think it’s cool to drink and puke all over the place), Stones (where the DJ can’t even master a 3 millisecond cross fade without messing it up) or similar unclassy places.

Eye of Horus is metal only, the bouncers look like they might bite of your head if your ID / drivers doesn’t say 18+ (thank goodness for that), the service at the bar is good, beautiful ladies dressed in mostly black, the way it should be, nice comfy sofas for those used to the luxury in classy places, four plasma screens, three for displaying various sport channels and another one for the music video of the current song playing, a pool table where you can play against the jocks and wipe that creepy smile of their faces (you’ll get jocks in just about every club, just not as many in this place) and just an overall good vibe booming from the place’s sound system.

The owner, Ryno de Villiers, is constantly running around making sure everything is running smooth, for example, last night one of the plasma screens suddenly lost signal, one of the waitresses informed the owner and within minutes the wrestling channel was restored, good job man!

Dress code is, be yourself, as long as you don’t wear open shoes, open shoes are kind of dangerous with the occasional glass shattering on the floor. The general trend is black. Cover charge is R20 which will give you a beautiful red Eye of Horus stamp. As I mentioned earlier, no under 18’s.

Directions: coming from the Tygervalley side, go down Durban Road and make a left turn into the area where Toys R Us (and the infamous Teasers) are located, drive on until you find Raglan Street on your left, turn left in Raglan Street and the club is approximately 20m into Raglan Street (next to the chemist)
