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.

    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.

    the food is AAZEBALLS---pity chef doesn't come out, so we have a standing OVATION 4 him/his team! THE menu needs EXPLAINING and the waiter knows it but we do not. as the table filled up until all 11 of of were there, he n the suited gent could have taken the time to really get us all to also get it like they do...this is the only gripe we have. the band and their QUEEN/ vocalist - outa this world! manager's appearance was everything! valet guy was the best - the smile/service...EVERYTHING! I have yet to go to such a place in RSA---so well rounded it makes up for the location, by a mile!

    Great evening in a fantastic environment. Has not visited here for a while and it did not disappoint. Service was good and reasonably attentive. Food service needs to be balanced to the table otherwise you get really cramped for space. Music was just what we needed
