  11. Le Makoumba Plus

    Although most of Bobo's garden bars turn into dance venues late on Friday and Saturday nights, Le Makoumba Plus, near the market, is a dedicated nightclub that pumps out loud music most nights of the week, and really gets going by the weekend.

  13. Le Zion

    Le Zion is another lively, but more intimate, place for live music (both modern and traditional), with plenty of local artists on Friday and Saturday nights. It's very much a local bar, but is also popular with expats.

  14. Leroux Sport

    While this place is OK for food, you really come here for the European-style outdoor terrace (Bobo's answer to café culture) and the real espresso coffee.
