Profile
Levelthree Premium Venue Kramerville Johannesburg is one of Sandton’s most stylish and distinctively positioned event spaces — a double-storey warehouse venue at 14A Kramer Road in the heart of the Kramerville Design District, where minimalistic décor, clean warehouse architecture, a wraparound rooftop deck with Instagrammable views of the Johannesburg and Sandton skylines, three fully stocked bars, a purpose-built DJ booth, and a versatile capacity of 250 guests seated or 550 guests cocktail-style make it a blank canvas for corporate events, gala dinners, music festivals, year-end functions, weddings, and private celebrations. Launched in October 2014, Levelthree has built its reputation as a Kramerville cultural hotspot with a loyal following — described as a venue “where edgy meets sleek” and praised by a reviewer who noted “loved the rooftop area — had a great time here.” With 5,869 Facebook likes and 5,859 check-ins, and a regular programme of public events including WineNot pop-up bars and live music evenings, Levelthree is accessible from the N1 North highway (Malborough off-ramp) with evening parking readily available from surrounding businesses.
The Architecture: Warehouse Minimalism Meets Urban Rooftop
Levelthree’s identity is rooted in its architecture. The venue is inspired by the clean lines and minimal décor associated with new warehouse architecture — a design language that has defined Kramerville’s broader character as one of Johannesburg’s premier design and interiors districts. The result is a space that photographs beautifully, adapts easily to different event aesthetics, and provides the neutral backdrop that event designers and corporate clients need to impose their own brand or style.
The double-storey format is one of the venue’s practical strengths. The ground floor houses the main function area with its full-scale bar, DJ booth, and spacious dance floor — capable of accommodating the full 300 seated or 450 cocktail configuration in its main format. The upper level connects via internal staircase to the wraparound outdoor deck, which provides the rooftop experience that has become the venue’s signature feature and social media calling card.
The Rooftop Deck: Sandton Skyline at Sunset
The upstairs open deck wraps around the venue building, providing a 360-degree panorama of both the Johannesburg city skyline and the Sandton CBD towers. The deck is described as the venue’s prime rooftop destination — and the view at sunset, when the Sandton towers catch the light and the Joburg horizon turns golden, is specifically described by In Your Pocket as “Instagrammable skyline views.” A separate rooftop bar on the deck ensures that guests can remain upstairs for the full sundowner experience without needing to return to the ground floor for drinks.
One Africa Biz reviewer captured the deck’s appeal simply: “On its deck you can enjoy the view of the whole Sandton skyscrapers.” Another described the rooftop as the highlight of their visit.
Three Bars and a Professional DJ Booth
Levelthree’s bar infrastructure is one of its strongest logistical assets. Three bars across the two levels — including a full-scale licensed feature bar in the main venue and the rooftop bar on the deck — ensure that no guest is ever far from drink service, and that multiple events running across the different levels remain independently serviced.
The bars are described as “fully stocked and licensed” with a selection covering local and imported beers and wines, champagne, and shooters. Halaal and Kosher catering arrangements can be made on request, reflecting the venue’s commitment to inclusivity for the full Johannesburg event market. The DJ booth is built into the main venue space and is part of the standard infrastructure — event organisers bring their own DJs into a ready-configured technical setup.
Capacity and Event Types
Levelthree’s capacity figures vary slightly across sources, reflecting different configurations:
- 250 seated / 550 cocktail — the official website’s current figures
- 300 seated / 450 cocktail — the original 2014 launch figures for the main space alone
- Smaller cocktail furniture upstairs for more intimate rooftop gatherings
Event types hosted at Levelthree span the full corporate and social spectrum:
- Gala dinners and corporate award evenings
- Year-end functions — the venue’s primary evening market
- Conferences and corporate meetings (with air conditioning and backup power)
- Music festivals and ticketed public events
- Weddings — described as a “new-age urban wedding venue” with skyline views
- Private parties and celebrations
- Public events including WineNot pop-up bars
Catering and Technical Production
Levelthree works with an accredited list of top Johannesburg catering companies, with the venue coordinator forwarding sample menus for the client’s selection. Menus range from canapés and portable dining to plated three-course meals, designed personally for each event’s requirements. Halaal and Kosher meals can be arranged on request.
The venue has an already-installed technical system covering sound and standard mood lighting, with the DJ booth providing the focal point of the sound setup. An equipped kitchen on-site supports the catering operation.
Location: Kramerville Design District
Kramerville is Sandton’s design and creative district — a neighbourhood of showrooms, design stores, and creative businesses that is home to the Kramerville Design District collective. The district’s character of cutting-edge aesthetic, professional clientele, and urban sophistication makes it a natural fit for a venue like Levelthree.
The venue is accessible from the N1 North highway via the Malborough off-ramp — convenient for guests travelling from across Johannesburg and Pretoria. Evening parking availability from surrounding businesses is noted as the practical solution to the limited on-site parking during daytime hours.
Office hours: Monday–Friday 08:00–16:00 | Saturday 13:00–midnight | Sunday: Closed (hours may vary for events — confirm in advance)
