Best tote/sports bar to sit at in JHB?

Any votes on the best place to enjoy the races if you cant make it to the course????
I have one but pitty there's nothing I've seen or been to in JHB, and thats bad cause JHB is big, that can touch it:
FOURIES in PMBurg. what a place. aircon all round. Designated smoking areas. HUGE, I think you can fit close to 250 people in there! Bookmakers and tote facilities. Excellent food service which doesn't touch the quality of food on affer at exceptional prices.They even braai for you 5 while you watch the racing. different dedicated to different sports. Ample seating. Carperted all round. Great BAR with all the amenities.And last of all open till the last of the racing that is shown on Tellytrack whether it be overseas or local.Never seen such a proffesional spot like that ever. My fiance' dont even mind coming with to play horses long as it's at fouries in PMBurg, my home town.
Miss that place.
Been to a place in the south near Honeydew/wilgeheuwel off Hendrik Potgoeter and they stay open till the last of the meetings in south Africa after which you get kicked out onto your ass.Its small. 30 people is a definate crowd in that place.
Come on JHB, we have a bigger market here but don't provide the standards to meet. No wonder people don't follow racing or enjoy watching it. Cause they associate it wth dinjy places.
Need to work on this!

Russelldewee -

Must agree with you about Fouries in PMB though Terry Peate (opposite the Showground) set the standard. Got to say that Fouries is better, being fairly new as suppose)

Well done Fouries
