Newtown, a precinct filled with a rich history, culture and a hub for the creatives in the arts. Situated within close proximity to Braamfontein and the Johannesburg CBD. This area is one that has grown to be the go-to spot not only for creatives but Joburgers at large.

Outie Bakery + Cafe
Poetry is something that makes a lot of people get into their feels and Outie Bakery + Cafe is just the place where you can get a good plate of food as well as entertainment (FYI: Word n Sound brings open mic to Outie every Wednesday evening).
Outie boasts fresh bakery goods that will have you in a world of your own - ooh! the brownies, please try these, they are everything that a brownie deserves to be. Situated right in front of the Market Theatre, the seating outside allows you to enjoy a good cuppa joe.
Moving Into Dance
Fortunately enough for those who are not looking for a nightlife dance experience, there is a dance studio in Newtown where you can enroll for lessons. MID caters for dance genres in Contemporary, Afro-Fusion, Hip Hop and more. Dance has been known to be the best form of exercise so maybe this is an opportunity to hit two birds with one stone.
The Market Theatre
The Market Theatre has hosted some of the best shows in the country, be it stage readings, drama, musicals - this place has been in Newtown for years keeping the arts alive, encouraging young artists and motivating the public to get involved in the performing arts.
Sax The Night Away
Niki's Oasis Restaurant & Jazz Bar Probably one of the oldest jazz lounges in the city, Niki's Oasis is the epitome of nostalgia from the minute you enter to the moment you leave. Picture this; the last time I was there, I was heading to a show next door and decided to have a cup of tea, I ordered and they brought me an old school teapot, cup and saucer and I received the entertainment from a jazz band that covered an instrumental by Kem - Love Calls. I think you get the picture. Niki's oozes with a vibey and warm atmosphere, drawing you in from leaving. If you live in a vintage area of sorts, trust me - this is the treasure you have been looking for. Situated next to The Market Theatre Laboratory in front of the new cafe, Outie.
