NYE Celebrations
One of memorable NYE parties in Johannesburg is Back to the Future at Randlords. Guests can watch the last sunset of previous year with spectacular views of Joburg City as you sip on cocktails at the Randlords Rooftop Bar and Lounge. Clive, Bobstar Deluxe, Tommy D, Selektaa and Ricardo da Costa are some of the DJs that will play the soundtracks to fuel the mood. Late night snacks including chicken pregos, veggie wraps and beef burgers will be available for those who are still peckish.
Cantare will host its New Years Eve masked ball. You will be treated to a five-course meal and a cabaret show, after which a DJ will entertain you until the early hours of New Year.
Another choice for your countdown is to enjoy a scrumptious 6-course dinner in style at Clico Boutique Hotel in Rose Bank. Expect exotic treats like Cajun tuna with broad beans and wasabi aioli; wild mushroom and Parma ham ravioli in an umami broth with truffle froth and cider-braised pork belly served with kimchi, butternut purée, honey-glazed baby apples, smoked apple purée and soy velouté.
Visitors can eat and drink their way into the New Year at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Sandton. While the restaurant has not yet decided what it will be doing for this festive occasion, you can’t go wrong at this vibey venue in the heart of Sandton.
Let’s kick off the New Year with a bang as Tiger Tiger brings in the New Year in 3D. The venue will be transformed into a tent party, 2 dance floors and a host of local DJ’s on the line up. Don’t forget to pick up your 3D glasses at the door.
