Why the Sparkling Social Hour at Protea Hotel Balalaika is your new Weekend Ritual

If Joburg needed another excuse to celebrate, Protea Hotel Balalaika Sandton has delivered a fizzy, fabulous one: Sparkling Social Hour at Lord’s Bar. And trust us—this is not your average happy hour special.

Every weekend between 17:00 and 19:00, Lord’s Bar turns into a glittering after-work oasis where cocktails come in twos, conversations linger longer, and the bubbles flow as freely as the Friday feeling. Think of it as your golden hour… just with a lot more clinking.

The deal?

Two-for-one cocktails every weekend
A guaranteed table at The Bull Run when you show your Lord’s Bar bill—even on those “fully booked” nights
A social setting so effortlessly chic you’ll swear you’re on holiday

Whether you’re kicking off date night, toasting a long week, or gathering the girls for a social catch-up, Sparkling Social Hour is the smoothest segue into an evening well spent. Sip something delicious at Lord’s Bar, then stroll over to The Bull Run—where your table awaits like a VIP nod of approval.

It’s the perfect pairing: bubbles and steak, cocktails and conversation, weekends and the Balalaika.

In short: sparkle first, dine after. 🥂✨
Because life’s too short for dull hours—especially on weekends.
