Map of Durban: Bars/Clubs

If you’re up for a couple cold ones, places to kick back, relax, and have a few cocktails, here’s a maps that sure to be useful.   Or…it you down for the sickest Jol of your life, this map can be of some-what use to your navagation. And, I know this list is endless…All the time in a year would not allow me to possibly scope out all the place in Durban, but luckily, just to be on the safe side I don’t think we would ever want to venture, all too thoroughly, through the bars in town.  So, that being said, I hope this can be helpful finding some place to go.  Read more

Meet Florida Road…

If you’re ever in Durban, take a stroll down Morningside’s Posh up-scale strip that offers fine dining, trendy bars, and extravagant night life. Florida Road will be the first place people will tell you to go, in order to ease take your mind off the settling crime around what used to be Durbans “go-out” central.  I would say Morningside would be your safer bet to experience night life your first time around the Durban city.

Check out the 8 or 9 block strip, and find practically any cuisine, hop from pub to bar and fine a scene for just any occasion, and ‘crawl’ from lounge to club finding the right music for your type of night.  I happen to find Florida Road quite interesting, large variety of places and best of all everything is in walking distance. 

A good example of the “look and feel” of Florida Road is captured in the photos above.  During the day time, you can take a stroll up and down Florida Road and notice the fascinating architecture. Amongst the double story house dressed with magnificent second story porches, you’ll find interesting restaurant, coffee shops, and pubs. As the sun goes down, the lights emerge and the growing vibe of the eateries, bars, lounges and club become more effervescent.  It seems as though crowds pool around local hot spots and all within close proximity. 

 Florida Road- Be ready for the super trendy, upscale, posh, New York elites attitude the seemingly shies many from stepping foot onto Florida Road.  The strict dress code, along with the often comparatively hefty price for a night out in town, have made Florida Road a less popular place for a lot of locals.  But i can say from my own experience, growing up in NYC…there will always be place like that.  Your best bet for any where you go: Get a feel for the local area, ask about dress code and price of drinks or entrance fees.  If it sound OK, try it. If not, then, maybe next time.

Overall, Florida Road was an amazing place I went to often for food and drinks. I was always interestin trying s place or just starting off there before we really went out. Either way, the strip right around the corner made for a fun place to start of new and comfortable place to settle, in the mist of “jolling” mayhem.

Cheers! More to come with each bloody place on Florida where I spent many mornings watching the sun rise.

Stay tuned. And Please, share an interesting story about your experince on Florida.
