Café Maure
Sit back, relax and just gaze out over the estuary to Salé from this chilled open-air café spread over several terraces in the Andalusian Gardens. Mint tea is the thing here, accompanied by little almond biscuits delivered on silver trays. It’s an easy place to pass time writing postcards, and a relaxed venue for women.

XVIème
Upmarket, stylish and expensive, this urbane club in Agdal even requires reservations in advance. Rabat's finest socialities come here safe in the knowledge that the bouncers are intent on keeping out the riffraff. Put on your fanciest clothes and visit an ATM before joining the queue at the door.

Le Puzzle
A happening bar-restaurant in Agdal, favoured by suburban sophisticates. It has a strange mix of traditional style and modern design but pulls in the punters with half-price beer and daily live gigs (except for Wednesday and Sunday karaoke nights).

Bar de L’Alsace
If you’re in search of an old-time local haunt rather than a squeaky-clean trendsetter, try Bar de L’Alsace, a staunch male-only preserve where the smoke is thick and the alcohol neat. It is open all day but closes by about 10pm.

Le Purple
Slick, contemporary style, designer furniture and bright, sultry colours make this hip bar one of the hottest spots in the centre of town. It's a hang-out for the young and the beautiful and hosts a lively karaoke night on Sundays.

Pachanga
This restaurant-bar is a strangely popular place with a canary-yellow colour scheme and cabaret-style setting. It's frequented by Rabat's in-crowd and has more of the ubiquitous karaoke on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights.

Amnesia
The hippest club in downtown Rabat, this USA-themed place (complete with a diner-style backroom) buzzes most nights of the week. The music is pretty standard chart pop but the young socialites who come here just lap it up.

Cafetéria du 7ème Art
Set in the shady grounds of a cinema, this popular outdoor café attracts a mixed clientele of students and professionals. It’s a relaxed place but the noise of passing traffic makes it less tranquil than Café Maure.

5th Avenue
Another USA-themed bar, this one styled on a Moroccan impression of New York, it plays a better range of music than the others and features everything from hip hop to techno to Middle Eastern.

El Rancho
Tex-Mex restaurant and bar where Rabat’s well-heeled go for a bite and a drink before clubbing. The atmosphere on weekends is electric, when the world-music beat gets turned up a few notches.

Rabat's most prominent theatre hosts a wide variety of performances, from classical music and dance to the occasional light-hearted play (usually in Arabic).
