Nightlife in Nelspruit – pubs, bars, clubs

Nelspruit is a city on the rise with the spanking new Mbombela Stadium indicative of the fresh spirit the city has acquired since South Africa was awarded the 2010 World Cup. After  matches there are a few Nelspruit nightlife spots worth looking into and most tend to do above average grub as well. Most Nelspruit pubs and bars will have televisions showing all of the live games so you will never have to miss a second of the action to get your fix of ice cold Castle lager.  Popular bars in Nelspruit and the surrounding area are Café Matrix, Utopia, Lumber Jacks and Equador but our below list contains some top quality establishments known only to locals.
