The space
A full floor, thirteen storeys up.
Hugh's Jazz Club takes the entire 13th floor of 73 Juta Street - a living tribute to Hugh "Bra Hugh" Masekela, built with the Hugh Masekela Heritage Foundation. Deep-red velvet booths curve around brass table lamps; "Soundstop" acoustic glazing wraps the room in a 360-degree skyline while keeping the music exactly where it belongs - inside.
It is a room engineered around the music first. A built-in marble bar, in-house PA, parquet floors and warm low light make it as comfortable for a seated private dinner as it is for a launch, a screening or one of the venue's signature live jazz evenings. The lift opens straight onto the floor, so the whole space arrives as a single, exclusive room.
Tell us the night you have in mind and we'll arrange production, catering and bar to match. More on the programme, live jazz dates and the current food and drinks menus is at hughs.co.za.
