Namibia

 The Story of an Iconic Beerhouse

It all started as a discovery of a new world – German-born Joachim Gross, or Joe as he was known amongst friends, was a master chef who’d worked and travelled around the world. 

In 1986 he arrived in Namibia and upon his arrival, this nomad finally felt at home. A passion for travel, stories and food fused together when Joe’s Beerhouse opened its doors in October 1991. 

Joe’s started as a quaint little beer garden, but soon, due to its popularity and maybe also because Joe ran out of space to put all his treasures from the road, the restaurant moved to its current location at 160 Nelson Mandela Avenue in Windhoek.
