Formerly Pub86
The same room, rebuilt.
Pub86 became Black Diamond during 2026. The address did not move and the people did not change.
For years this was Pub86, on 85 Edwards Avenue in Westonaria. In 2026 it was rebuilt and renamed. The velvet, the gold, the lit bar and the raised VIP lounge are new. The address, the phone number and the people behind the bar are the same ones regulars already knew.
That history is worth stating plainly rather than hiding. If you searched for Pub86 and landed here, you are in the right place.
What people actually say
The venue holds 4.3 out of five across 62 Google reviews, still filed under the old name. One number and four words keep repeating.

Safety is not a line we invented for a website. It is the thing people volunteer, unprompted, in their own reviews — and in this corridor it is worth more than any amount of marketing.

Sister venue
Two rooms, one building
Royal City Bar shares the building, divided, with its own entrance. It is a sister venue rather than a competitor, and it runs its own programme — Mogodu Mondays and bring-and-braai Tuesdays among them. This site covers Black Diamond; for Royal City, the same phone number will point you the right way.
