Hatfield
There are several bars and nightspots in trendy Hatfield, catering for all types. Yet again, Hatfield Square is a good place to start, but remember that 'guns, fireworks and motorbikes are strictly prohibited'. Unusually for South Africa, Burnett St offers a high density of bars, eateries and clubs, all cut through with lashings of backpacker bravado and student shenanigans.
You can wander between venues easily and safely, saving the endless taxi journeys that usually punctuate a night in a big South African city. It's the easiest pub crawl in the country.

Tings an’ Times
This bohemian bar attracts an eclectic crowd to chill out to a reggae soundtrack, punctuated by regular live performances. Late on weekend nights it pulls in a crowd of up-for-it students and dancing goes on till the small hours. If you get the munchies, the speciality is pitas (R28 to R50), which come toasted with toppings or stuffed with all kinds of tasty treats.

Buzz 9
Funky multilevel bar with metal banisters decorated with birds, moon, stars and even spacemen. There’s a large menu of potent cocktails, all around the R30 mark, and light snacks are available. The action spills out onto sidewalk tables when it’s busy.

Cool Runnings
As you’ll guess by the name this place has a Caribbean vibe, with reggae on the stereo, rustic decor in Rasta colours, and a nice line in rum-based cocktails. At night-time it’s heaving with drunken young bodies.

Mo Café
This camp, retro-style affair offers beautiful people, stacks of irony and lashings of orange décor. Fashionable facial hair is a must. There's a full food menu for late-night munchies.

Rock
Located in Rockville, and surrounded by rocky stretches of road, the Rock, er, rocks. The night slides on seamlessly between house music and live jazz, all while a sassy crowd of local scene-sters and out-of-town artist types sip fruity cocktails and tall beers on the roof deck.
