Randlords — Braamfontein
Okay, so this spot isn’t always open to the public as it is one of the most exclusive venues in the city, but when they host parties on the 22nd floor of the Randlords venue, you better ensure you’re there! You will be perched on the highest point in Braamfontein, and get a complete 360 degree panoramic view of the City of Gold that stretches from the magnificent FNB Stadium and bustling Soweto to the Sandton Skyline.
Northcliff Water Tower — Northcliff
All the best things in life tend to be free, hence my reason for mentioning the Northcliff Water Tower as one of the best sunset spots in Joburg. I say this because I have experienced it firsthand. One of my ex-boyfriends decided to spoil me with a romantic picnic for two at this spot, and I must say it is by far one of my fondest memories! The sunset from this spot definitely set the perfect backdrop to a romantic evening. So, if you are looking for an ideal date idea that will not break the bank, then pack a picnic basket with tasty goodies and some good wine, find a comfy blanket, head to Lucky Avenue in Northcliff and set up at the Northcliff Water Tower.
Directions: From Beyers Naude Drive, turn left onto Frederick Drive. Left onto Hearn Drive, which will lead into Rockey Drive. Then turn right into Louie Avenue, and right again into Lucky Avenue.
Roots Restaurant at Forum Homini — Kromdraai
After a long day of taking in all the sights that the Cradle of Humankind and Sterkfontein have to offer, why not sit back and relax out on the deck at Forum Homini’s Roots Restaurant? Wind down while sipping on a glass of wine as the sun sets over the surrounding dam and veld. The restaurant offers a truly stunning African sunset. And, once the sun has gone down, head inside for a divine dinner to round off your day on a high note (be sure to book beforehand, as booking is essential).
Skye Bar — Sandown
Whether you are looking for a relaxing spot to wait out the traffic or a great spot for a stunning sunset and pre-party drinks to get your night started, the Skye Bar offers an elegant space just for that. This spot can be rather pricey when it comes to their cocktails, so ensure you visit it for a special occasion or if you are looking to spoil yourself! I think taking in the panoramic views of Sandton while sipping on a refreshing Honey Sling (Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey shaken cold with vanilla extract, pineapple juice, charged with soda water) sounds like the perfect way to start an evening out with the girls!
The Island Bar — Southern Sun Hyde Park
Grab a cocktail, sit out on the pool deck and take in the glorious Highveld sunsets from the Island Bar at Southern Sun Hyde Park. This happens to be one of the most popular and happening places to be over weekends, as the vibe is busy and buzzing on Friday and Saturday nights. Their cocktails are superbly refreshing, perfect for spring and summer nights, and the sunset views from this venue are one of the best in the city.

The San Deck Sandton is another great option if you're chasing a majestic Joburg sunset. This is yet another Sandton favourite if you are looking to sit back, lounge around on the comfy, luxurious couches and sip on a sundowner while watching the sun go down over the Sandton CBD skyline. On colder nights, they have three large fire pits that will set the ambience and keep you warm while you take in all of that the city lights have to offer once the sun has gone down.
The Living Room — Maboneng
Reconnect with nature at The Living Room in the heart of Joburg! This rooftop venue offers urban-eco café cuisine, plant art and urban design. It also has a showroom for green design and lifestyle.

From the observatory deck, you can see the whole of Joburg, from the FNB Stadium and Soweto in the south-west, Braamfontein and Hillbrow directly north, to Gandhi Square to the west. Take in this stunning sunset which literally turns Joburg into the City of Gold. There is also a bar and coffee shop at the very top!
The Beach - Rivonia
No need to take the tedious six-hour journey down to the coast just to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach along with your favourite cocktail! The Beach has finally come to Rivonia, offering a rooftop beach right in the heart of Joburg! This stunning venue has some of the very best sunsets over the city, and is fully equipped with a full bar with amazing cocktails, gourmet hot dogs and finger platters, and live entertainment!

Are there any motivational quotes you'd like to share with us? Leave a comment below!
We Know How to Hustle.
Just because you don’t have a job doesn’t mean your bank balance becomes stagnant. From wheeling and dealing photocopiers and water coolers on the side to writing articles as a freelancer, Joburgers know how to make money – that’s what the city’s built on, right?
We Eat Deadlines for Brunch.
Because Johannesburg ticks to its own clock we tend to work a lot faster. You need that report by 11? We’ll have it done by nine. We’ve been taught from a very young age that if you stand still for long enough someone else will take your place in line.
We Think Everyone Outside of Joburg Drive Too Slow.
Have you ever been on holiday in the Eastern Cape and every single person on the road has never made use of their car’s third gear? Yup. That’s us, right. Just because the speed limit is 40 doesn’t mean we have to stick to it, right? Life is happening and ya’ll need to move, move, move.
We Think Everyone Inside of Joburg Drive too Fast.
Joburg is filled with a bunch of maniacs on the road. Just because the speed limit is 80 doesn’t mean you have to drive 220. But it’s okay if we do it because we really need to get to the pub...
We Know How to Drink – But is That a Good Thing?
Phuza Thursday was born in Joburg. That much is a fact. The working class in this town only need half an excuse to go out and drink. Oh it’s karaoke night? Let’s go have a drink! Oh, You’ve had a bad day at the office! Let’s go have a drink. As fun as it may seem to sing Celine Dion at the top of your lungs whilst under the influence every Thursday for the past eight years kind of boils down to, you having a problem... besides, they call us JOLburgers for a reason.

Explore the Sterkfontein Caves
The Sterkfontein Caves are located in Maropeng and are world famous for the amazing fossil discoveries that have been made here. It’s recommended that you take a tour through the caves so that you don't miss out on anything! The most significant fossil discoveries in the caves were 'Mrs Ples', a 2.1-million-year-old Australopithecus skull, and 'Little Foot', an almost complete Australopithecus skeleton that is over three-million years old! Note: if you take the tour, don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes as it involves quite a bit of walking.

Post
If ever you get a craving for a juicy prego roll and some sweet lemonade to wash it down with (a very specific craving, yes, but a real one if you’re like us), Post is the place to go. That’s not all their menu boasts though – you can’t really go wrong here. Whether you order the salmon on rye or the flapjacks served with bacon, honey, yoghurt and fruit, you’ll walk out feeling full, happy and ready for a shopping spree or nap (depends on what you order, really).
Address: 70 Juta Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Kitcheners
Thrift store by day, party haven by night, Kitcheners wears more than one hat, that’s for sure. If you stroll inside on a Saturday, you’ll find all kinds of gems – from vintage clothes and bags to shoes and accessories. Shopping with a drink in hand? Yes, please. By night, Kitcheners morphs into a party bar with different themed nights – you could get comedy, live music or find yourself in the midst of a dub night, who knows? Plus, it’s one of the oldest bars in Joburg!
Address: Corner Juta and De Beer Streets, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Great Dane
Right next-door to Kitcheners is Great Dane, a fab party bar by night, hotdog hotspot by day. Their parties go on until the wee hours of the morning — and for good reason. They sure know how to throw them. Like Kitcheners, Great Dane’s parties vary so just be sure to check out what’s happening before you go. Or don’t – it might be more fun that way!
Address: 5 De Beer Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
WAM
The Wits Art Museum, otherwise known as WAM, is a great place — not only to admire some art but also to grab a bite to eat. They’re home to Olives and Plates where you can get an assortment of sandwiches, wraps, saucy roasted chicken, roasted veggie salads, cakes and other sweet treats. Fuel up and take a look at the art on display. WAM’s home to a collection of African art and also hosts a range of exhibitions.
Address: Corner Bertha (extension of Jan Smuts Avenue) and Jorissen Streets, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Father Coffee
Okay, this is a bold statement, but it’s quite possible that Father makes one of the best coffees in town. We do not say this lightly. In fact, we consider ourselves to be quite the coffee snobs, so if you’ve yet to try it, do so and then try and argue! There are limited seats inside so it’s best to grab a takeaway coffee and walk around Braam while you sip on whatever you’ve ordered (a flat white for us, please).
Address: 73 Juta Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Doubleshot
Doubleshot Coffee is a great coffee spot that also serves up a wide range of teas. Their food offerings are fab, too. Sit and chow down on coconut French toast, shakshouka, and smoked trout cottage pie! And wash your meal away with a craft iced tea, why don’t you?
Address: Corner of Juta and Melle Street, Braamfontein, Inner City, Johannesburg.
Bannister Hotel
The Bannister Hotel has a fab vibe to it if you pop in for a drink and a bit of a dance — depending on which night you go, of course. Things pick up on Thursday nights (especially First Thursdays, when Braamfontein really comes to life after dark on the first Thursday of every month). Pull up a chair at the bar and who knows, you might even catch a live act while you’re there.
Address: 9 de Beer Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Velo
Velo makes a mean sandwich. Their gourmet versions, in particular, are oh-so-tasty, but if you feel like a good ol’ fashioned toasted chicken mayo sarmie (sometimes that’s all you need), you can get that here, too. Velo doubles as a bar so order a cocktail with lunch (no judgement here) and you’re good to go.
Address: Corner Melle and Juta Streets, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Archive
If you’re a sneakerhead, you don’t need to read this – you already know all about Archive. They specialise in must-have exclusive and limited edition sneakers so if you need to get your hands on that hot pair, or you’ve got your eye on a classic, you know where to go.
Address: 73 Juta Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

Some people have a fascination with cigars, and yes, I am one of them. In America, over 3.8 billion cigars are smoked annually, however, back in South Africa, they aren't often available in stores or clubs. The younger market is also the least likely to be seen smoking them. But, if you're part of the niche few who enjoys a deep puff or two, here's where you can find them around town...
The Cigar Club
You can’t smoke cigars without buying some first. We've found that the best place to get good imported cigars at the best prices is at The Cigar Club. They require you to register as a club member before making a purchase, but membership is FREE, so don't stress. Tip: take a look at their offerings carefully because they have special packages worked out for weddings or sample packs of the five top-rated cigars etc. These packages are also cool because you save a bit off a regular purchase… and that’s always good.
Katzy's Rosebank
Katzy’s is a five-star experience as far as bars and lounges go. They specialise in live jazz with that wall to wall leather and wood look, expensive whiskeys and of course smoking stoggies. They have a range of cigars on hand to add to your eventful night out.
Cubana
Cubana, as the name so implies, is a Cuban themed venue where you can buy cigars, kick back and relax in a faux Cuban type environment. Their claim to fame is that they are singularly the biggest cigar traders in South Africa with all the Cuban and Dominican cigars a connoisseur might want. They also boast their own brand of cigars which is apparently quite pleasing.
Chevy Lane
While this 1950's retro dinner functions mainly as a family restaurant, there are a few secret treasures to behold here too. With an open balcony and a dedicated whisky and cigar bar, Chevy Lane offers you vintage-inspired sophistication. Completely separate from the kids play area, this is the ideal place to blow off some steam (literally).
Churchill's Bar
Churchill's Bar is styled to look just like an upmarket British gentleman's club, which means it had to include a special place to smoke a cigar or two. Choose from an impressive selection of cigars on offer and pair it with an even more impressive choice of whiskies. All that's missing is a smoking jacket and a pair of loafers.
The Polo Bar at the Four Seasons Westcliff Hotel
The Polo Bar boasts a stylish colonial setting with a polo based design giving it a very regal feel. The view from the bar is spectacular and is a perfect spot to light up, chat or reflect on the busy week that was. A little later, it's worth digging into one of their delicious cocktails and possibly lighting another stoggie… what could be better?

Island Bar at Southern Sun Hyde Park
For delicious cocktails, a fun vibe, and great music with a classic and elegant feel, pay a visit to Island Bar at Southern Sun Hyde Park ... it's the perfect spot for after work socialising with colleagues and friends. Grab a cocktail and dig into a light meal while watching the Highveld sunset from their rooftop pool deck. Sundowners with a stunning view of the city? It can't get any better than that!
Jolly Cool, Parkhurst
This one has been around for many years and to this day, it's still one of the coolest hangouts in Parkhurst. Head through to Jolly Cool to play a few rounds of pool, grab a bite to eat, hang out with your mates, have a few drinks to unwind, and have a jolly good time. This popular hangout is the place to be after 17:00, so make sure you arrive early (finding parking can be a nightmare). With reasonably priced food and drinks, this is the best way to chill out. Don't leave without grabbing one of their pizzas!
Jolly Roger Restaurant & Pub
Directly across from Jolly Cool is the Jolly Roger Restaurant & Pub. From the moment you walk into this one, you instantly get the feeling of a traditional British pub. It's crowded, rather loud and can be smokey but the vibe is homey and friendly. Along with the warm atmosphere, there's also beer on tap, delicious pub food and friendly service.
SIX Cocktail Bar
This stylish and upbeat little spot is a gem in the Melville precinct. It gives you great music, a social environment, drinks, a choice of 60 different cocktails and meals (in case you get a little hungry with all that drinking) all rolled up into one trendy, exciting and interesting venue. Happy Hour lasts for seven hours, from 12:00 until 19:00 daily (yes, EVERY DAY!), and during this extended hour you can enjoy their special of two-for-the-price-of-one cocktails. Go easy on the Long Island Ice Tea though, two of those and you'll be under the table if you're a lightweight.
Billy the B.U.M's, Fourways
This one is an oldie but a goodie! Billy’s is a bar/cocktail lounge that caters for a more mature scene. With a variety of over 60 different cocktails and mixed drinks, good food and awesome tunes, this is the ideal spot to wind down the week. Sit and chill in the seated areas and socialise with friends or, if you feel like busting a move, there is a DJ playing the latest music - feel free to make requests if you want to dance to your favourite tunes (there's always a great 80s track in the line-up).
The Baron
Everybody knows The Baron! And luckily, this one can be found all over the city. There's one in Bedfordview, Kyalami, Fourways, Bryanston, Sandown and Woodmead, so take your pick, call up your mates and head down to the bar for a cold one (you can find us at the Sandown and Fourways venues more often than not). You can expect a good atmosphere, outstanding service, vintage wines, interesting cocktails and good food. What's nice about this place is the fact that you can visit as a family for a good meal or for a night out on the town. It's versatile, relaxed and easy-going. Also, it's a FREE WiFi spot!
011 Dainfern
Brought to you by The Baron, 011 Dainfern is an upmarket hotspots offering a lovely setting to relax after your hectic day of meetings, deadlines, presentations, fussy clients and millions of emails. Order a martini just the way you like it, tuck into something delicious from their menu (we love the sound of the lamb curry, especially if it's a little chilly outside) and be a little daring by trying out one or two of their refreshing and interesting cocktails.
Hogshead
Hogshead is a great hangout if you're in the mood for grabbing a few drinks and meeting up with your mates. It's one of the more popular restaurant/pubs in the city and offers everything from beer and burgers to a bar and even a kid-friendly section if you're visiting with the family. To help you relax, you can catch various sporting events on their TVs or make use use of their Wi-Fi to update your Facebook check-in or Instagram or even finish some last minute work (if you have to).
The Radium Beer Hall
Enjoy a night on the town in one of Joburg’s oldest bars. Expect live performances by local musicians and song writers, check out the new talent on the music scene, have a drink at famous Barman Larry’s Savannah Dry bar; and enjoy a great meal. With walls covered in old memorabilia, posters from ‘back in the day’ and newspaper clippings that have recorded the Radium Beerhall’s history, this bar definitely does give off the vintage vibe.
Hell's Kitchen
Hell's Kitchen is a rockabilly-themed bar in the heart of Melville. It's got amazing décor that's sure to catch your eye from the minute you set foot inside! Their food is very tasty and is best washed down with their signature Hellfire Whisky! Perch yourself on one of the comfy leather couches and wind down while you listen to their awesome lineup of rock music. Let the mayhem begin!
Social On Main
If it's cocktails you want, it's cocktails you'll at Social On Main. Their cocktail menu is amazing and comprehensive, it has something for all tastes and palates, and the food.... so delicious! This one is a must if you find yourself in Bryanston.

The Michelangelo Hotel is by far one of the most iconic hotels in South Africa. It's fitting then that its restaurant be categorised as fine dining as well.
