Wow @johan - you joller !
I do remember Bella Napoli in Hillbrow but only went there twice. I think by the time i was there it had gone down a lot.
Caesars however was a different story. That place was in Braamfontein Jorrison St if I recall. Maybe im thinking of a different place - it was Caesars Palace, Did it move? Anyway, that was a great place. Many a late night spent there! Hehe
I actually find it scary how many of those names I am familiar with. Can add the Willy Smith in Florida, and Hole in the Wall as well. Many a chicken was eaten on the sidewalk in the Brow. Also many a night we were stopped for being poep dronk, and the cops took us to camp or home to make sure we got there. I am in no way advocating drinking and driving, but this was real in those times.Clubs frequented during my youth (childhood

We called it toktokkie - and kids still do it - and it's still called toktokkie. Not only kids but bored teenagers. Beats me why families with teenagers come to Yzerfontein on holiday / long weekends. There is absolutely nothing for the teenagers to do - and I mean nothing!. So, "they prowl the empty streets at night..." (Who knows where that comes from?) and play toktokkie - at 2 a.m.!!! The bell at my driveway gate fortunately stopped working and I've decided not to get it fixed!
Who remembers Pick a Box on Springbok Radio?
Spent many a Friday and Saturday night at Bella Napoli and there was a well know early morning stop across the road if I remember correctly where we went for shawarma's. Another club was Raffles.
Caesars across Carlton is correct - never went to Caesars Palace in Braamfontein, although I knew of the place.
If the one in Marshall Street (I think), Yes but forgot about it.
And some adults too. I'll be playing this game if I ever come to your side of the planet
I remember the old doors in marshal street and the newer one in edenvale. Happy hour!Wow this is now bringing back memories. I remember The Doors @Silver, went there a few times especially if Bella's was not great we would move on to The Doors

Things after 7:30 pm became but a vague memory, or rather memory loss, until the compulsory Panado, Cream Soda and a hell of a Wimpy breakfast to prepare for the next night.

Plume of vapour, mostly aromatic coffee notes detected, ensues.
Now I know who rings our door bell at night. I removed the batteries once but missed a vape mail next morning.
