jive's big blue building knows a thing or two about reinvention, and about possessing a colourful, whirling history. this place was once a theatre and later became the legendary toucan nightclub in the 70s. it then underwent 2 decades of bewildering changes: reborn as a bar, nightclub, risque trip joint, and a comedy club. today, Jive is a live music venue for local, national and international acts. Its original theatre design elements give it a huge advantage over many other band performance venues; making the space an acoustic winner with plenty of character. the stage stands before the sunken dance floor, so drinkers can have clear sight lines from the bar level. for a different perspective, head to the upper level & check out the stage action from the balcony.
most afternoons, jive exudes a chilled out lounge vibe and caters to university students looking for post-study drinks, pool and foosball. the bar is well stocked and much effort has gone into making sure the range of wines and spirits is high in quantity, rich in quality.
the decor, staff & music make jive a truly welcoming, cosy & entertaining night (or afternoon) out!
