Johannesburg, Gauteng

tarmac route

7th Street is distinguished by its quirky selection of predominantly owner-run small businesses, many of which have been here for decades, and a strong sense of community, with not a chain store or franchised restaurant in sight. With so many students and young professionals living nearby, 7th Street has always maintained a reputation as a nightlife hotspot and is among Joburg's most famous bar-hopping areas. It can seem that the venue names change almost as regularly as the weather, but the nightlife is always thriving, helped by a culture of nurturing a personal touch and offering very competitive happy hour deals. The popular 7th Street ranked 12th on a list of the coolest streets in the world, according to a survey by Time Out magazine.
