about 96

A brilliant offering to Joburg's more mature party crowd. 96's cool surrounds and warm atmosphere has become one of Jozis most popular hangouts.

Vibe: Finally a proper lounge for Jozi with live DJ's playing some of the coolest down-tempo beats in town. A sophisticated 'music room' that accommodates urbanites with a love for good food, good music and good conversation.

Décor: Must be seen to do it justice. Casual lounge complete with Afro-chic décor, welcoming sofas, subdued sexy lighting and cool Café Del Mar-esque tunes..

Crowd: Full range of classy peeps ranging in age depending on the evening. All with the common purpose of relaxing in a stylish venue. Great for a private party.

Service: Very good. Knowledgeable and friendly waiters. Good service at the bar, no long queues. Dirck, the owner, is there pretty much every night and always willing to chat with his patrons. Feels like a home from home really. Relaxed and welcoming. Just cruise in.

Smoking: The whole place is smokin.

Extra Bits: Owned by Sandy Vice & Dirck Pont of old 96Degrees and Café "C" fame, this place is one of the hippest spots to hit Jozi in a long time. It's chilling for professionals here, and frankly we just love it. A great spot for cocktails after work.

Special themed evenings from Wednesday, but open pretty much all the time. Wednesdays are Salsa classes.

And weekends it's Deep House, R & B, Hip Hop.

Fridays: deep house, and Saturdays: Deep House, R & B, and a bit of Hip Hop

In fact screw the classifications; the music is for chilling really and sometimes busting some sexy moves on the floor.
