The Bohemian

The people of Joburg are a special breed. They operate in a busy city that swallows them up in the urban rush, yet they still remain- on the most part- friendly and hard working. This is achieved in the understanding that, every so often, they need to let off a bit of steam to remain sane. When this bug bites, they are aptly served by a large variety of clubs, pubs, restaurants and bars in the city. One of the Jozi’s best and most secretive nightspots in this regard is The Bohemian.

The Bo is a hidden gem, straight out of the movies. With its darkened interior, large bar, delicious pizzas, live music and pool tables, whether the movie in question is From Dusk Till Dawn or Coyote Ugly, the Bo will provide. 

Live music at the Bo is how it should be- in your face and personal- and the beer and alternative crowd are always good partners. If music is not your thing and you'd prefer a quieter evening, the adjacent pool area is for you. Here, you can try your hand against the many challengers or sit nearby, devouring a fresh pizza in comfort.

Whether warming up on a cold night or looking for a place to let your hair down, The Bo is always a good option. It is the third oldest pub in the city, but not down the pecking order in terms of anything else.
