Your Favourite Local Bar in Alexandra
Probably the Best Bar in the World
- Make yourself at home, grab a cold drink, and find your inner Sam.
Who We Are
Sam’s is like an extension of your own living room, but with great drinks and simple, delicious food. Originally started by local brewing pioneer Sam Forsyth under the Ferris Road Brewery label, the bar was reborn on September 1st, 2024, thanks to a group of dedicated locals who stepped in to keep this wonderful hangout alive.
We’ve updated the look while still holding onto our welcoming spirit. It's a family-friendly, doggo-welcoming spot where community comes first. No flashing neons, no pounding club music—just an unhurried, comfortable vibe where you can truly unwind with mates.
What We Offer
Finding a place that offers a laid-back vibe shouldn't be difficult. At Sam’s, we offer these:
