    Ratz is a fun, gay-popular bar located on 7th Avenue, Melville. Here you'll find cheap drinks and especially good cocktails.

    Unpretentious, maybe even a tad trashy, Ratz is a great place to drink, dance, and do some karaoke.

    Drinks are very cheap before 20:00 - only R35. They're practically giving them away for free!

    The venue hosts theme nights and events occasionally, including 'Games Night', 'Stand-up Comedy', 'Native Jam Night', and more.
