My partner and I are in Johannesburg for a very short stop and will only be here tonight before checking out early tomorrow morning. We’re visiting from India and this is our first time in Joburg. After a few busy travel days, we’re hoping to slow things down a bit and enjoy a relaxed evening together. We’re staying around the Emperors Palace area near OR Tambo and were curious what people would recommend for a nice night out as a couple. We enjoy places with good energy, welcoming crowds, live music, cosy bars or lounges, or a late dinner spot where it’s easy to settle in and let the evening unfold naturally. We’re pretty open-minded, social, and enjoy environments where conversation flows easily and people are friendly, but we’re not looking for anything hectic or overly touristy. More interested in spots locals actually enjoy, where you can sit, talk, and get a feel for the city even if it’s just for one evening. If there are nearby areas worth heading to, or suggestions that work well when time is limited, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any tips.   submitted by   /u/Overall_Zone8631 [link]   [comments]
