About Louis
Jan Smuts Avenue in Rosebank puts the doors within walking distance of the neighbourhood's bars and hotels, which matters when the night doesn't start until 11pm and runs to 4am. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are the only nights it opens, an unusual rhythm that pulls a mostly 18-to-25 crowd of locals, visitors from across the continent and backpackers passing through the area. Trance and house carry the floor for the full five hours, with bottle service and VIP booths for groups who want a base rather than a spot at the bar. Prices sit in the mid range, so the spend is reasonable by Johannesburg standards, and smart casual is enough at the door. Arrive close to opening on a Sunday and the room fills quickly, since Monday through Wednesday and Friday there is nowhere here to go.
