Bean Bag Bohemia

Bean Bag Bohemia was opened in 1995 by Guy Wood and Charles Kerr after many years and numerous journeys around the world, enjoying places and environments that did not exist in Durban. The idea being to create an exceptional place that people could go to, that would be more than a restaurant and a meal out, but a place that would become a lifestyle and an evening of entertainment, enlightenment and enjoyment, meeting people and discovering new things. It was to be a place where people of different cultures and views could meet and melt, to evolve a new living restaurant lifestyle also providing a space in the post club culture, as opposed to a functional venue only. BBB has made its mark in establishing a culture in Durban very different to any other place in town.

The Café Bar and Restaurant has strong ties with the arts, performance and creative sector in Durban and as a result has a strong cosmopolitan and varied clientèle - in particular it has been the home to the renowned Fantastic Flying Fish Dance company and Mark Hawkins, who have been fed and trained in the famous Bean Bag Bohemia art of drinking countless shooters and gave birth to the well known BBB sharing, drinking and toasting slogan of “Eyes”, which any well versed Bean Bagger will know. BBB is situated in Morningside in one of Greyville’s Buildings that has been declared a National Monument firstly, and now with the advent of Bean Bag Bohemia Café Bar and Restaurant an Institution as well.

An added advantage to BBB and it’s popularity is that the club like late night atmosphere is provided on a nightly basis with the BBB policy of - No cover charge. Also available, are cocktail parties in their garden or a range of snack menus for those companies that are catering in their offices this year. BBB is well known for it’s specialized and specifically designed outside functions, at your home, or the office or just about any extraordinary venue that you can dream of. BBB has also become well known for the outlandish cocktails it serves in the café bar, which are a feature at the “Salon Wednesday” cocktail night which are curse to many on a Thursday morning at work (if you make it to work).
