Katzy’s Live is a live music venue and wine bar in Rosebank, Johannesburg, combining evening performances, DJs, drinks and dining in a polished nightlife setting. The venue is located at The Firs and Hyatt Shopping Centre, making it suited to a night out that begins with dinner or drinks and continues with live entertainment.

Regular live bands and DJ sets provide the main focus, supported by a dedicated stage and professional sound and audiovisual equipment. The atmosphere is energetic and social, with a smart-casual style that suits after-work drinks, celebrations, evening performances and late-night meet-ups. The entertainment programme is designed around local and international artists, live bands and DJs.

Food is provided through The Grillhouse menu, while the bar centres on premium cocktails, wine and a broad selection of whiskies, cognacs and bourbons. A premium cigar selection adds another feature for guests looking for a more traditional lounge experience. The combination of restaurant dining, drinks and live entertainment gives the venue a broad evening format rather than a single-purpose club or bar.

A wraparound garden and outdoor area extend the venue beyond its main indoor spaces. These areas support larger bookings and private functions, with the venue also accommodating celebrations, conferences, product launches, corporate events and sporting event screenings. The setting works particularly well for adult groups seeking a managed event space with food, drinks and entertainment in one location.

Katzy’s Live is intended for guests aged 25 and over, with a smart-casual dress code. The venue trades as an evening and late-night destination, with its regular programme concentrated toward the end of the week. Table reservations are handled directly by phone, while private-event and VIP lounge enquiries can also be arranged with the venue. Its mix of live performance, Grillhouse dining, cocktails, wine and lounge-style drinks makes it a practical choice for social occasions in Rosebank.
