011 Gin Eatery Rosebank

We believe a true friend reaches for your hand and puts a glass of wine in it. So we took a couple of good friends, dabbled with a few cocktails at a some of the coolest hotspots in the city. Here is a list of our top 4 bars in Joburg:

Amazon Nightclub Sandton

Step into the wild side of life and visit this brand new nightclub. Booming with the best drinks, the finest crowd and the most epic tunes. Live Djs will take you into the wild and you’ll discover pure party magic. From DJ Tinkz, to Essential Groove to Labyrinth, name it they play it. Oh and did we mention they also have live shows, and acrobatics galore. This is officially our favourite Jozi jol.

Go on Friday or Saturday evening. The club opens at 9pm and entrance is free before 12am.

This bar concept is brand spanking new. It is a gourmet restaurant and gin bar in the heart of Rosebank. This venue makes for a memorable tinder date or a night out with the crew. This is where all the cool kids are going with trendy upmarket decor, live music and gin festival events. We’re really excited about this new haunt.

Go on a Wednesday or Thursday for after-work drinks or on weekends for live sports events.

Oxford Parks, 199 Oxford Road, Dunkeld.

Sin + Tax Bar Rosebank

Tucked away on the corner of Bolton Road is where you will find this speakeasy. Moreover the journey of getting there is half the fun as it is a hidden gem. There is something really exciting about this bar and being intimate and closed in, but for those who prefer the outdoors, that is also an option. Their cocktails are off the charts, try the Karma Citrus, the Blue Tower, the Bikini bottom with gin or our ultimate, a classic old-fashioned. They make them darn good.

Go for the swinging chairs and sit under the fairy lights.

The Station Parkhurst

This is more like a supper club because there are two sides to this fantastic spot. The restaurant and then the bar. So grab a bite to eat before heading to the bar, their food is delicious.

We strongly encourage entering the bar area because not only can you people watch for hours but the staff offer impeccable service and the drinks and delightful. If you cant secure yourself a table not to worry you can dance the night away or just hangout with the locals at the bar.

Go for the half-price cocktails from 5pm-7pm on Tuesday to Friday.

Corner 10th Street and 4th Ave, Parkhurst
