Ponta De Auro Tavern

Business Owner: 

Fernando Batista

How long have you been in business?

We have been in business for five years, and we’ve been a Club 10 Liquor venue for over a year now.

What role has Club10 Liquor played in the success of your business?

In the year that we have been with them, Club 10 have helped us in putting up our signage and providing branded uniforms for our staff, which has been great from a branding point of view.

Which are your top-selling liquor brands?

Our customers enjoy a range of brands including Heineken, Castle Lager, Black Label, Amstel, Klipdrift and Johnny Walker Red.

As a tavern owner, how do you give back to the community?

I love braaiing. That’s my passion so I braai for the community on special occasions such as public holidays and community events. It’s a great way to bring the community together.

What makes your Club10 tavern different to other taverns?

Ponta De Auro Tavern has a relaxing atmosphere. We have a local DJ playing here regularly: DJ Mzwangedwa. The people love his music and he knows how to get them hyped. Troublemakers get booted out of our tavern immediately so people come here to enjoy themselves knowing they won’t be bothered. Our regulars are awesome people, great supporters, although greeting new faces is always exciting. A new addition to the tavern is Nomonde Rusike, who cooks great tasting dishes for our patrons.

Location: 8 Botha Street, Witbank.
