Fairway Sky Bar: Honeydew’s Hidden Gem for Rooftop Views, Virtual Golf, and Sundowners

This is not just another rooftop. It’s a full swing experience.

If you’re looking for a spot in Joburg that combines skyline sunsets, sushi rolls, and a round of golf without ever leaving your seat, Fairway Sky Bar in Honeydew has quietly become that place. Tucked above the leafy estate of Eagle Canyon, this elevated venue offers more than just a rooftop vibe. It’s part sports lounge, part event space, and part chill-out terrace, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons.

Views with your vino, swings with your sushi

Perched high above Blueberry Street, Fairway Sky Bar boasts a front-row seat to the Eagle Canyon Golf Course, one of Johannesburg’s most scenic landscapes. As the sun begins to dip, the rooftop lights up, cocktails clink, speakers hum with relaxed beats, and the fairways below glow gold. Whether you’re here for a light breakfast or a post-work drink, this place delivers the kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence.

But the views are just the beginning.

The real talking point? Two high-tech virtual golf simulators. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just trying to impress a Tinder date, the swing bays let you tee off in style, with a drink in hand, indoors. Add some sushi and a craft gin to the mix, and it’s giving full Joburg finesse.

Not your average menu

You might come for the golf, but you’ll stay for the food. The kitchen turns out everything from sizzling grills and Neapolitan-style pizzas to fresh-cut sushi and satisfying breakfasts. It’s the kind of place where you can start the day with an eggs Benedict, hit a few (virtual) holes by lunch, and wrap it all up with ribs and rosé as the sun sets.

Pair it with a cold craft beer or one of the house G&Ts on tap (yes, gin on tap), and you’ve got yourself a proper weekend setup.

The go-to for birthdays, bachelors, and business drinks

With capacity for up to 80 guests, the Fairway Sky Bar is fully equipped for private functions, from team-building days to milestone birthdays. The venue is slick without being over-the-top, offering both indoor lounge comfort and open-air deck space. Whether you’re planning a boozy lunch or a corporate mixer, it’s the kind of place that says, “We thought this through.”

Best of all? If the vibes hit just right, you can literally walk next door and crash at Blueberry Hill Hotel, which makes this spot even more appealing for out-of-towners or those who just want to make a night of it.

A rooftop that knows what Joburg wants

Fairway Sky Bar has found its niche. It’s not trying to be Sandton slick or Melville grungy; it’s clean, casual, grown-up fun with a view. It’s where you can watch the rugby, sip on a well-made mojito, play a few rounds of digital golf, and still feel like you’re somewhere special.

Follow their socials for updates, specials, and event nights. But honestly, just go. It’s one of those places that makes a regular Thursday feel like a mini-holiday.
