The BAT (Bartel Arts Trust) celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2005. Established with funds left by an eccentric Austrian millionaire who was fascinated by South African arts and culture, the BAT Centre is one of the city's premier venues for live music, visual arts and restaurants. There is live music on the deck every Friday and Sunday, featuring up-and-coming local bands that play maskandi, Afro-jazz, folk, drumming and hip-hop, as well as other genres such as rock and reggae. This artsy hangout is also one of the few places in Durban where you'll see different ethnic and racial groups mingling with ease. Victoria Embankment (small craft harbor), Durban.
