Joe's Beerhouse
Windhoek's best-known game beerhouse, seating about 580, famous for its five-meat game skewer and German pork knuckle.
Located at 160 Nelson Mandela Avenue, it is a near must-visit for tourists in Windhoek. It seats about 580, with a thatched shelter and beer garden decorated with all kinds of old items. The menu focuses on game and German dishes. The signature 'Bushman skewer' combines five meats, kudu, zebra, crocodile, gemsbok and springbok, on one skewer. Other dishes include gemsbok ribs, fried kudu ribs in the German style, and German pork knuckle served with sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and mustard. The portions are large and drinks are cheap. Tripadvisor has about 4,700 reviews with a rating of 4.1. Some diners say quality has been inconsistent since the change of ownership, and wait times can be long. It is often full, so the restaurant recommends booking ahead. Mid-range pricing.
