Father’s Moustache was a popular pub and nightlife spot in Durban
South Africa, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. Located at Gardencourt 73, 73 Marine Parade, South Beach, Durban, it was known for its lively atmosphere, live music, and sing-along sessions. The pub was a staple of Durban’s beachfront scene, attracting crowds with performances by bands like the Blarney Brothers and entertainers such as Joe Parker, who played to packed houses with songs like “No Nay Never” and “Streets of London.” Patrons fondly recall the draught beer, polystyrene hats handed out at the door, and a vibrant social scene where people met, danced, and even made memorable deals—like selling a car to someone who announced it over the microphone.
