Fabulous safe space for the LGBTQ community, service is a tad slow (we did attend on a VERY busy evening so i won't hold it against them) The vibe is amazing and the pizza is mouthwatering Great shows and always welcoming

It's a LGBTQ+ venue. A little small, but the atmosphere is really nice. I felt safe and comfortable. Be patient - ordering drinks at the bar can take time. The drag shows they host there are an absolute guarantee of fub

Rara’s is honestly a breath of fresh air in Gauteng’s nightlife scene. From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming, vibrant, and completely unpretentious. The staff are friendly, the drinks are well-priced, and the music always hits just right , whether you’re there to dance the night away or just relax with friends. What really sets Rara’s apart is the atmosphere. It feels safe, inclusive, and genuinely fun without trying too hard. In a space where authenticity can sometimes be lacking, Rara’s stands out as one of the few genuinely decent LGBTQ establishments in Gauteng. There’s a real sense of community here, and you can feel it in every interaction. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly be yourself, meet great people, and have an unforgettable night, Rara’s is the spot. Highly recommended ,I’ll definitely be back.
