Eastern Cape
At a glance
Nineteen33 Speakeasy Bar & Venue is a Prohibition-era themed bar and event space at 15 Butterfield Crescent in Fairview, Gqeberha. Set within a commercial development, the venue creates a sense of discovery from the start. The approach includes an unexpected arrival sequence, followed by a flight of red stairs leading to the speakeasy-style setting.
The venue’s character draws on the atmosphere of the early 1900s, with an environment designed around the traditions and intrigue associated with Prohibition. Nineteen33 is suited to guests looking for an evening shaped by themed surroundings and organised entertainment rather than a conventional bar visit. Public access takes place on selected evenings linked to scheduled events, giving each opening a specific occasion and format.
For visitors exploring Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape, Nineteen33 provides a setting that works across social and professional occasions. Private venue hire is available for themed birthday celebrations, engagement parties and small wedding receptions. The space also caters for conferences, meetings and strategy sessions, particularly where a smaller venue with a strong sense of style and atmosphere is appropriate.
The venue’s event approach also extends to exclusive membership. Membership is intended to add privileges, preferential access and a hospitality-focused experience for returning guests. Public bookings and private functions are handled separately according to the event or hire arrangement.
Nineteen33 operates strictly by reservation for its public evenings. Walk-in access is not available, and seats are not reserved for patrons who arrive without a booking. Booking details accompany each public event, with the door password issued after a booking has been made. Scheduled shows begin at the stated time, so punctual arrival forms part of the experience.
With its concealed-entry concept, period-inspired setting and flexible private-hire use, Nineteen33 suits celebrations, organised gatherings and business sessions that call for something beyond a standard meeting room or everyday bar environment.
