EVERY WEEKEND

Even without a special event, here's what you can expect on any given Friday or Saturday night.

Resident DJ Sets

Every Fri & Sat 8 PM – 4 AM

Local DJs on rotation bringing amapiano, house, hip-hop, and gqom. The dancefloor doesn't stop until the lights come on.

Two Bars Open All Night

Every Fri & Sat

Cocktails, shooters, beers, and spirits from two fully stocked bars — keeping the queue short and the energy high.

Professional Sound & Lighting

Every weekend

Full lighting rig with lasers and effects. This isn't a bar with a speaker — it's a proper nightclub setup built for a real night out.

Track Record

Hotshots has a proven history of hosting professional, ticketed touring-artist events through established Durban promoters. Past events have featured known South African acts — not open-mic hopefuls. These are real shows, ticketed through platforms like Quicket, with professional promotion.
