THIS PAGE IKI bar serves unusual cocktails, made with high-quality ingredients - perfect for a nightcap.
IN AN UNPREDICTABLE CITY, Joburgers can be certain of two things: that water is wet, and that Rosebank is always under construction. But despite the latter being eternally true, this central hub delivers with interesting and vibrant new spaces that are as enjoyable as they are Instagrammable. Here's our guide to the area, featuring places with that special VISI stamp of approval.
Heading for Rosebank? First, you've got to dress down to a T, in an unassuming yet undeniably eye-catching outfit. Then, make for Keyes Avenue. The carousel of restaurants, galleries and stores makes this one of the most serene and satisfying corners of Rosebank. There, True Design is a furniture store must-see - and not just to window-shop stylish furniture but also to capture your next screensaver.
BKhz gallery, owned by Banele Khoza, features exhibitions by some of South Africa's best young visual artists, such as Wonder Buhle Mbambo.
