"A South African rugby sports bar where peri-peri chicken livers are a frequently sold-out favorite and the true star is the in-house boerwors sausage — generously perfumed with cloves, sliced, charred, and served with a thin tomato-and-onion gravy called “train smash” that carries a pronounced Dutch-colonial flavor; the place has a hearty, convivial vibe and evokes a playful fusion of South African pub fare and Valley bar culture." - Noah Galuten
"Founded by a trio of South Africans looking for a place to watch rugby, Springbok shows all kinds of sports (even the ones you understand), and features a menu filled with American staples and South African favorites." - kat hong, james montgomery

"Springbok in Van Nuys may seem like a regular sports bar, but look closer to find South African staples like chicken liver peri peri or prawns in pili pili sauce. There’s also a daily Durban curry special made from tomatoes and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves." - Fiona Chandra
"Van Nuys sports bar Springbok is a Victory Boulevard staple for beers, burgers, sausages, and the like. Better still is the space, a pseudo-rustic recreation with sports memorabilia on the walls and a rather unique clientele holding down the stools." - Farley Elliott
