In a city where many of the restaurants and bars are part of large shopping malls, Melville is a pleasant exception. The nightlife in this neighbourhood is centred around its friendly streets, especially 7th Street and Main Road. Here you will find restaurants, bars and clubs, both with DJs and live music. Together they make Melville into an ideal destination for a night out.
Melville has been one of Johannesburg’s long-time hotspots. During the day you can enjoy the many coffee bars, hip art galleries and boutiques. But the biggest attraction is the neighbourhood’s vibrant nightlife. One of the great advantages is that everything is within walking distance, in one of the safest parts of the city. Melville draws a mixed crowd of students, tourists and young professionals. It is also a popular meeting point for the local gay scene.
