The place is clearly one of the more notable establishments in Capetown, South Africa, the subject of considerable coverage. It is notable as a famous place that a lot of people know about and attracts important politicians and well-known entertainers. It is also a gathering place and an important example of a black-owned busines that is part of South Africa's new economic development programs.
The primary source, "Youth Radio", is a reliable source even if the reporters are in their late teens - does Wikipedida have a bias against young people? It's an internationally syndicated radio program that practices serious journalism and is broadcast on NPR stations, among others.
The original version of the article, which I have not seen, was deleted almost instantly. In the past few minutes since this completely new article was created it has been proposed for speedy deletion twice as spam, blatant advertising, attacked as non-notable, had its sources challenged, etc. I can't imagine what else might be challenged by the time I finish this message.
This is a real article about a real, notable business that has received international press. It's sourced. If it's deficient it can be expanded and improved.
I've never seen a neutral, informative article under such fierce attack so quickly. I can only surmise that this has something to do with Jimbo Wales being the one who created the first version. In that case, all of these challenges suffer from WP:POINT. Wikidemo 17:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
