Katzy's Jazz Club

Katzy's Jazz Club & Restaurant is one of Rosebank's most beloved dining and entertainment institutions , a warm, Manhattan-inspired venue that has been serving Johannesburg's jazz lovers, foodies, and socialites since the 1990s. The food is excellent: a menu of South African classics elevated with contemporary technique , prime steaks, fresh seafood, seasonal game dishes, and decadent desserts.

The wine and cocktail list is extensive, with a particular strength in local vintages and creative signature drinks. But it's the live music that truly defines Katzy's. The venue hosts live jazz performances most evenings, featuring South Africa's finest jazz musicians alongside international artists.

The intimate performance setup means there isn't a bad seat in the house , music fills the room without overpowering conversation. Katzy's is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and brunch through dinner on Sundays. It remains one of the most consistently reliable choices in Rosebank for both a quiet dinner and a memorable live music evening.
