L’Atmosphere
It’s a restaurant, but not so many people come to ‘Latmo’ for the food. Especially in the summer when the pool is full, this is a bar pure and simple, and the most popular expat joint in town. On Thursday nights you could be forgiven for thinking you’re back at the university bar, as the place fills up with the young and beautiful (and single) side of the aid worker scene. It’s certainly fun, but we’re not sure if it’s Afghanistan at all, and it’ll leave your head spinning in more ways than one.

Hare & Hounds
This bar gives you a geographic jolt in a completely different way: an English pub shipped lock, stock and barrel to Kabul, all the way down to the beer mats and dart board. It’s as cosy as you’d hope; if it had real ale on tap, we’d be in heaven.

Foundation for Culture & Civil Society
Several Kabul cultural centres host concerts. The most notable one is the Foundation for Culture & Civil Society, which holds regular open-air concerts of traditional Afghan music during the warmer months, and exhibitions by local artists.

Deutscher Hof
Doubling up as a German restaurant and catering college, the high walls here hide steins of Bavarian lager, and regular events like Kabul’s Oktoberfest.
