Melville is best known for its vibrant entertainment, nightlife and parties. As you can expect, the streets are full of trendy bars, restaurants and nightclubs. If more outdoorsy entertainment is what you’re after, try a stroll through the rolling hills of the Melville Koppies Nature Reserve, or enjoy the weekend markets.

Nightlife

The Anti Social Social Club

The Anti-Social Social Club is a modern, Asian-style bar and restaurant in Melville. If your idea of a night of entertainment means good food, company and delicious drinks, this is the place for you. The menu at the Anti-Social Social Club is light and pairs perfectly with their equally delicious cocktail menu.

Jo’Anna Melt Bar

Located on always-trendy 7th Street, Jo’Anna Melt Bar is an ultra-stylish and sophisticated bar located in Melville. You’d be forgiven for asking what a melt bar is – it’s a new idea, after all! Simply put, everything coming out of the kitchen has cheese on it. To complement these delicious cheesy dishes, patrons can enjoy a range of craft beers. Jo’Anna Melt Bar is essentially a place for sophisticated guests to hang out, relax and enjoy delicious food and great company.

Visit Jo’Anna Melt Bar.

Ratz Bar + Diner

A real Melville institution, Ratz Bar + Diner has been entertaining Melville residents for 24 years! Ratz is Melville’s premier LGBTQI+ friendly restaurant and cocktail bar. Ratz has a reputation for delicious food, tasty cocktails, and hits from the 70s til the present day to dance the night away to. If you’re in the mood for a night of music, drinks, and dancing, Ratz Bar + Diner is definitely the place for you!

Visit Ratz Bar + Diner.

Smoking Kills Bar

Smoking Kills is an unusually old-fashioned place. It rejects the label of restaurant, pub or nightclub. What is it then, do I hear you ask? They describe themselves as nothing more or less than a bar, an “unapologetic watering hole”. If you love rum, Smoking Kills Bar is the place to be. Though they aren’t a restaurant, you can enjoy a light bite to eat with your drink, but nothing fancy. If a fun night out on the town with friends is what you’re after, Smoking Kills is where you’ll want to start. 

Visit Smoking Kills Bar.

Hell’s Kitchen

Hell’s Kitchen is an American-style, rock-themed bar and restaurant in Melville. Known for its iconic “Be Naked When I Get Home” neon sign, 1920s New York speakeasy glamour, and secret poker room hidden away behind the bookcase, Hell’s Kitchen is an iconic and fun place to go for a night out. Enjoy live entertainment, delicious bar food, and good company while savouring some Jameson’s whiskey. Bliss!

The Green Market Melville

For all enthusiasts of the “organic cannabis lifestyle”, The Green Market Melville is essentially paradise. You can find The Green Market on the rooftop of 27 Boxes on Saturdays, and from there, the choices are endless. Cannabis-themed food, therapeutic products, oils, ointments and even dog treats can be purchased here. Enjoy live music and drinks at the bars nearby, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Visit The Green Market Melville.

Melville Koppies Nature Reserve

The Melville Koppies Nature Reserve is a nature reserve and Johannesburg Heritage Site located in Melville. The Koppies are a perfect spot for a day trip if you’re even slightly interested in the history and geography of Johannesburg prior to the discovery of gold in 1886. Its geology dates back 3 billion years, and there is evidence of both Stone Age and Iron Age man. The ridges themselves are also remarkable, as their vegetation is entirely indigenous – a rare thing so close to the City of Johannesburg.

Visit The Melville Koppies Nature Reserve.

Melville Food and Farmers Market

Do you love organic fruit and veggies, fresh milk and bread, baked goods and more? If so, a trip to the farmer’s market is in order! The Melville Food and Farmers Market has been supplying the Melville and local community with fresh produce for a long time, and has appeared in various iterations throughout the years. Support your local farmers and have a great time in the fresh air!
