A Night Out At Churchills Bar

Churchills Bar, is a wonderful hidden gem in the heart of Melrose Arch, that takes you to another part of the world with its British decor, sophisticated environment and delectable food. We had the chance to check it out and do a review for all of our fabulous readers. This was our  thoughts on the place:

We walked to the entrance of the beautiful venue, greeted with a smile. Walking into the Churchills on the red carpet make us feel rather exclusive and special which I feel is the norm for the clientele that Churchill attracts. The feeling of exclusivity and importance isn't a norm when you go to some venues, however this was absolutely the feeling and experience at Churchills.I love the fact that you can be whom ever and still feel like a rock star. 

We were escorted to our table, which was ready and waiting with a a bottle of Champagne waiting for us. We then chose our platter for dinner. We chose Harry's Platter that consisted of Lamb loin chops, crumbed chicken strips, onion rings and arancini rice balls. (those are amazing rice balls, filled with cheese and deep fried. An explosion of taste!) They have various snack platter options as well as Pub styled foods and a grilled option. 

Churhills specialize in extravagant alcohols such as whiskey, champagne and gin. Their whole theme reminds me of very upper class, old England, that you see in films. Where the men disappear to their cigar room, women dress to impress and only the wealthy hang out. Only difference is Churchills is for all, which I love! 

This upmarket venue is a place you need to add to your bucket list of places to go in Johannesburg. Fr more info and information on upcoming events they are hosting, please click here.

The North American leg, which began in September, has received rave reviews.

“Eye-popping” – USA Today

“Ms. Perry was as confident and adept onstage as she’s ever been” –The New York Times

“Enormous, colorful sets with eye-popping props, strong vocals that kept her at the front of top-40 live performers, and a presence now more refined than radicalized” – Los Angeles Times

“Fast-paced and fun” – Boston Globe

“Katy Perry’s Witness Tour Looks Are Out of This World” – InStyle

 “Colorful, sparkling spectacle” – Billboard

“As concert productions go, Perry’s is the definition of top-notch and an Instagram dream: a highly choreographed, sensory overloaded assault that sparkles, swings, struts, and even flies.” – Variety

With Witness, Katy finds liberation, in the changes in her own life and in the world around her, delivering songs that inspire both thought and movement. The singles released thus far – the Platinum-certified “Chained to the Rhythm” featuring Skip Marley, and the singles, “Bon Appétit” featuring Migos and “Swish Swish” featuring Nicki Minaj – hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on Witness.

WITNESS: the Tour is an imaginative trip from outer-space to inner-space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through Katy Perry’s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album. The dramatically original staging means that there isn’t a bad seat in the house, when Katy brings out her band and dancers, along with all the bells and whistles.

WITNESS: The Tour is Katy’s first run since the sold-out, 151-date Prismatic World Tour, which concluded in 2015 and was hailed by Rolling Stone as "a show to damage retinas and blow minds." Sponsors include KATY PERRY PARFUMS.

Katy made her Capitol Records debut with 2008’s One of the Boys after signing to the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global superstar with the follow-up album, Teenage Dream (2010). PRISM, her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide. With the singles “Roar,” “Firework” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold including song sales and streams, Katy is the first female artist to earn three RIAA Digital Single Diamond Awards. In her 10 years with Capitol, she has racked up a cumulative 18+ billion streams alongside worldwide sales of more than 40+ million adjusted albums and 125+ million tracks. She is the most-followed person globally on Twitter, and the first to surpass 100 million followers.
