If you’re looking to get a taste of high-end nightlife in Johannesburg, Rockets Bryanston is one of the top spots to try. The space reopened on 23 May 2024 and introduced a new era of luxury dining and nightlife. The sexy revamp captures cutting-edge design and unparalleled experience where fine foods and music merge seamlessly.
What’s behind the new, slick chapter for Rockets Bryanston
After seven years as a hotspot, Rockets Bryanston has undergone a complete transformation motivated by the desire to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving scene. “The inspiration for this revamp was a natural progression,” says the Rockets founder and CEO Sean Barber. “Over time, we noticed many similarities with new competitors in terms of the elements of our design, making it crucial for us to innovate and set ourselves apart once again. Our goal was to create something unique on every floor that couldn’t be replicated, bringing Rockets into a new era.”
Rockets Bryanston now boasts three distinct floor levels, each offering a completely unique experience for locals and visiting tourists.
Top-tier sophistication on the upper level
It’s pure class at the top floor where urban sophistication meets the scenic views of Jobug’s skyline. With influences from beach clubs and international trends, this floor features light, airy elements, providing a chilled escape for diners.
