Own a Piece of South African History!!

An iconic Johannesburg landmark is now on the market. Established in 1929, The Radium Beer Hall is the citys oldest surviving bar and grill, and a true institution with 95 years of stories, music, and loyal patrons.

Originally The Radium, as it is also known, was a tea room owned by the Kalil family, when it opened in 1929. Thirteen years later, it acquired a Malt and liquor license and became a beerhall. During the first few years, it was notorious for illegally selling alcohol and run as a shebeen.

Today, it is still a popular destination and It is regularly used as a filming destination for programs as well as advertisements.

The bar itself is over 100 years old and was the original bar from the Ferreirasdorp Hotel, in the city centre. The bar was relocated to the radium during the Second World War when the hotel was demolished to build the magistrates courts
