J. Rabbit Tequileria is the latest spot in Illovo

No Comments

We love discovering new spots and J. Rabbit’s has just opened its doors where the old Griffin used to be located. In case you were wondering it is named after that famed cartoon character, Jessica Rabbit and the vibe and décor lend itself perfectly to that notion, too. Following the speakeasies of yesteryear, access to the bar is through the laundromat in the front of the building before arriving in the plush Mexican styled bar at the back. Offering one of the biggest selections of tequila we have ever seen, J. Rabbit’s cocktail menu uses predominantly tequila and mezcal and even features some tequila brand’s that are not yet available to the public in SA yet. The food menu is South American inspired, yet offers some great classics as well, and this will certainly be an experience like no other for discerning foodies and cocktail lovers alike. A: 5, Illovo…

First Thursdays Rosebank

No Comments

The popular concept, First Thursdays that first launched in Cape Town not so long ago, has slowly but surely moved its way to Joburg and we couldn’t be more thrilled! While the concept is already gaining attraction in Braamfontein and Maboneng, we can’t get enough of First Thursdays held in Rosebank on Keyes Avenue. The art galleries and showrooms found in the Trumpet Building, most recently known as the Keyes Art Mile are open to the public from 5pm to 9pm (and later) on the first Thursday of every month. Visitors can either explore these galleries on foot, indulge in an array of Jozi’s finest food trucks or hang out at the Union Pop-Up Bar. Speaking about First Thursdays, Joshua Shifren of Union Bar, explains, “It is not often that we get to explore arts and culture in such a casual environment that is not intimidating. People enjoy perusing the Trumpet…
