I was chatting to my barber (Nev The Barber) this morning while getting my weekly shave (because he does that sort of thing) and we got chatting about last night’s Pecha-Kucha event.
Which led us to a conversation about being proud of Durban and owning the vibe and realising what a body-rockin’ city we’ve got on our hands.
Which then led to a conversation about travel. A conversation about why anyone would want to travel OUT of Durban when the NY Times claimed that Durban is the sexiest city on the planet. We realised that there are in fact many great reasons for travelling. One of them being Amsterdam and the Dutch people in general.
Which then led to conversation about the new joint in trendy Davenport Road that has opened up which is very literally called Amsterdam.
Thought process aside – we got nattering away at all the sweet bands we have seen come through their doors both at this edition as well as the previous installment on Florida Road aptly named Thunder Road.
The other night I was knocking back a glass of red there, as one in my position often does and wondered how long it would be before a place like that upped their prices and got all Corporate on us.
Allow me to explain.
6 X Beers for R60. That constitutes a round. And that constitutes a bargain.
A bunny chow and a beer for R40. And you aren’t limited to Veg.
I suggest you get involved there in a big way. And this weekend looks like a banger. Jet Black Camar and The Otherwise for Ten Freaking Rond and on Saturday they are rocking a Durban July after party feat. the lads from Uber Cool.
It’s just one massive vibe. Oh, and Durban it’s a pleasure for CONSTANTLY showing you all the raddest spots to hang and chill and party and vibe. Laka!

Yeah this place is uber Dutch.
I asked them to up their Dutchness and introduce stroopwafels on the menu.
They said they’d think about it.
I say their business will go up ten fold if they do.
Laka!
