A hip night out in the heart of the revitalised inner city of Joburg
The centre of Johannesburg is coming alive and a night in Marshalltown – with rooftop cocktails, pavement cafés and a growing arts scene – reveals a district becoming a vibey place to hang out.

Ticking all the urban escape boxes
I’ve always loved a city escape. You know, sidewalks and fountains, art, a good meal, coffee on the street, cocktails at sunset. Be it for jazz, romance, escape or connection, a hip night out feels like an urban right.
But never mind Manhattan in New York, Sandton or Cape Town – I hit my hip night out at the Reef Hotel recently, right here in Marshalltown in the Jozi CBD.
