According to Adam Levy, PB’s CEO and founder, the partnership with CL allowed the reimagining of Kitchener’s while staying true to its roots.

The event highlighted Braamfontein’s rejuvenation as a hub of culture and connection, with the attendees including sporting legends and current rugby, cricket and football players.

“Kitchener’s is more than just a bar. It is a space where memories are made, and stories are shared,” Lawrence said.
