Melville, Gauteng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Melville is a bohemian suburb of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. It is the location of many restaurants and bars, which are mostly frequented by students from the nearby University of Johannesburg, located in Auckland Park. The area, along with Parkhurst and Greenside is one of the few areas of the Northern Suburbs to have cafes, restaurants and shops lining the streets rather than in enclosed shopping centres. The majority of the restaurants are located along 7th Street, although there are a few new restaurants and nightclubs on Main Street, most notably the famous oh! bar and Roxy's. Melville is also well known for the Melville Koppies (rolling hills of grassland with views over the city), and is near the historic suburb of Sophiatown.
