#Enjoy a Sundowner @ The City Beach Club
The weekend is officially here – making it the absolute BEST time to kick-back, relax & enjoy a sensational sundowner at the first-ever City Beach Club in Joburg! Located right in the heart of one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Joburg, Braamfontein – or ‘Braam’ as it’s affectionately known by Joburg locals – The Play Braam Precinct’s sexy new Rooftop City Beach Club has certainly shaken up the Joburg rooftop bar scene – in all the best ways of course – with its recent grand debut. While it may be the new ‘kid’ on the ‘Joburg rooftop bar block’, this chic Mediterranean-inspired beach club has fast become one of the HOTTEST spots to be and be seen in Jozi’s inner city!
Said to be wild, sandy (yes, literally), and sophisticated, you’ll instantly be transported to a cool coastal paradise the second you step through the beach club doors and onto their sandy beach floors.
Simply sit back and relax as you bask in your new-found beachy rooftop bliss, soak up all the glorious Joburg sunshine, and sink your toes into the sand with a signature cocktail in hand – could it possibly get any better? Well, hold on tight, because it just might! Paired with spectacular sweeping views of the striking Joburg skyline, it will truly feel like you’ve escaped to your own slice of beach paradise right here in the heart of Johannesburg!
This unique venue offers a one-of-a-kind experience, combining the relaxed ambiance of a beach club with the lively energy of a bustling city. The City Beach Club is the ultimate place to unwind and embrace the vibrant rhythm of the city – a true cultural melting pot in every way.
