The Beach

The Beach, Rooftop bar in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Description

The Beach is a rooftop bar featuring an artificial beach setting with real sand and vegetation creating a coastal environment. The space includes seating areas where visitors can enjoy drinks while overlooking the city.

History

The venue emerged as part of Johannesburg's growing rooftop bar movement that began transforming urban spaces into leisure areas from the 2010s onward. This reflects a broader shift in how the city uses its elevated structures.

Culture

The venue hosts live music and DJ performances that are part of Braamfontein's social scene. It attracts people looking to gather and celebrate in this unusual setting high above the city streets.

Practical

Access is via Juta Street in Braamfontein, located within the Play complex. Visitors should arrive early during peak times, as the space fills quickly on weekends.
