The Marabi Club is the home of superb food and drink accompanied by fine live jazz performances. Visible from the street only by the discreet black canopy above a small metal door in Doornfontein, downtown Johannesburg, the Marabi Club harks back to a vibrant history.

    Awesome experience. Super friendly and professional staff. The GM is a great host and the story behind Marabi is an excellent piece of history.

    Everything was great but when it came to the payment it was a mess and I ended up overpaying. I hope they will refund what I payed in excess.

    Fabulous night. Only in Johannesburg for a night so took a chance and so glad I did. Not in the best of areas but well worth the visit. One of the most memorable nights we’ve had. Food and service was fantastic. I’ll be back to Johannesburg even if it’s just to visit Marabi Club.
