Frankly,
why go anywhere else?
Frankly Oscar wasn't built to be another "event space." It was built to be a landmark. Perched on the Northcliff ridge and carved from the hill's own rock, we offer a 360-degree skyline panorama that leaves everyone speechless. It’s a modern, industrial, luxurious blank canvas designed for people who know that the right venue is 90% of the vibe.
We’re exclusive, we’re iconic, and frankly, we’re the best seat in the city.
Let’s be direct
Most venues are four walls and a tragic carpet. We built Frankly Oscar to be the antidote to event fatigue.
Carved into the Northcliff hillside, we offer a raw, luxurious industrial shell that lets your vision, and the entire Johannesburg skyline, do the talking. We provide the world-class stage and exclusive, top-tier catering coordination. You just bring the guest list.

& Culture
We aren't just a landmark; we’re a local. When we aren't hosting high-stakes corporate launches or elite celebrations, we open our doors for what matters:
Sophisticated Sunday Socials.
Iconic Matric Dance and Graduation backdrops.
Impactful Charity Galas and Community Dialogues.
Martial Arts and Sport Demonstrations at altitude.
Frankly,
we don't let just anyone in our kitchen.
We believe in the power of the specialist. We specialize in the view, By Word of Mouth specializes in the unforgettable.
As our sole event and catering supplier, they bring three decades of "Best of Joburg" accolades to the Northcliff ridge. Whether you’re hosting a high-stakes corporate launch or a private celebration for the few who matter, BWOM handles the logistics, the luxury, and the leftovers.
Our Mantra
Like the deity seated upon his rock, we are literally carved from the stone of the Northcliff ridge. We do not shift for fleeting trends or bend to the "standard" event protocol. We are the unshakeable foundation, a modern industrial pillar of steel and stone that stands firm while the rest of the city rushes below.
We carry the sword that cuts through the delusions of the ordinary. Frankly, we have no patience for the beige, the cluttered, or the uninspired. Our "blank canvas" is a tool of purification; we strip away the fluff to reveal the raw, luxurious power of a space that works. We don’t offer excuses; we offer an industrial stage that handles the heavy lifting so your vision can exist without compromise.
