10. Zoo Lake Bowls Club, Parkview. It's not just the cheap booze and tasty food that makes this place a treasure. It's the way you walk in and just feel at home.
 
16% / 16 votes
9. The Radium Beer Hall, Orange Grove. This place is something of a myth but with a bit of actual substance. It started out as a tea room before some people knew 'apartheid' was a word and has been going strong ever since.

8. Liquid Chefs, Rosebank. How did Liquid Chefs (a place in a shopping centre!?) make it onto our list of the best bars in Joburg? Because it's different to our usual haunts and, sometimes, you need a change of scenery.

7. Zebra Inn, Jeppe. The place is decorated with the taxidermied remains of several dead animals, all eerily watching you from their perches along the yellow walls, stalking you like prey.

6. Zebra Pond, Yeoville. You get to meet people from foreign lands and hear stories of their epic journeys to reach the Zebra Pond.

5. Kitchener's Carvery, Braamfontein Kitchener's is great. You know it, we know it and we know you know it. New bars are cropping up all the time so we thought we'd remind you why the second oldest bar in the city is still up there with the best.

4. Guildhall, Marshall Town. This is not only the oldest bar in the city but also one of the coolest. They must be doing something right having survived for so long and the truth is, not much (apart from the prices) has changed.

3. The Fox Den, Jeppe. If you're up for R20 quarts and the perfect selection of local house tunes, The Fox Den is where you need to end up on a Saturday night.
 
0% / 0 votes
2. Jolly Rogers, Parkhurst. Many a famous night has been had at Jolly's. It's often talked up as being the best bar in Joburg and I seriously wouldn't be able to disagree.
 
22% / 21 votes
1. Jo'Anna Melt Bar, Melville. They serve the best pub food because it actually tastes kinda like food. Order one of their fat cheese sandwiches at midnight.
