Bars in South Africa: lounges, cocktails and live venues

The bar scene in South Africa brings together rooftop lounges, intimate cocktail bars, wine cellars, hotel bars and live cafés. In Johannesburg, venues range from open-air terraces with sea views to all-in-one spaces combining bar, restaurant and entertainment.

What you can expect depending on the venue

  • Cocktail bars: signature mixes, classics (gin, vodka, whisky) and alcohol-free options
  • Lounge & VIP areas: small private salons, dim lighting, premium spirits
  • Live music: DJ sets, acoustic nights, jazz sessions and themed events
  • Food service: snack menus, full dining, barbecue or Euro-African plates
  • Extra amenities: secure parking, terrace seating, cigar or shisha corners in selected places
A good bar experience combines atmosphere, consistent service, and a menu that matches the moment—afterwork, celebration or late-night chill.

Finding the right spot in South Africa

Whether you are planning an evening in Johannesburg or exploring Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth or East London, compare menus, music programming, capacity (indoor/outdoor) and the overall vibe before you choose.
