Casablanca Entertainment

  1. Aïn Diab

    The beachfront suburb of Aïn Diab is the place to go for late night drinking and dancing in Casa. However, hanging out with Casablanca's beautiful people for a night on the town doesn't come cheap. Expect to pay at least around DH100 to get in and as much again for drinks. Heavy-set bouncers guard the doors and practise tough crowd control - if you don't look the part you won't be getting in.

  3. Black House

    Other than Aïn Diab the only real options are the clubs at the large international hotels. They're pretty predictable places with little atmosphere but they attract plenty of business people and tourists. Prostitutes work all of the clubs, men are always expected to pay for the drinks and women shouldn't expect hassle-free drinking anywhere.

  5. Café Alba

    High ceilings, swish, modern furniture and subtle lighting mark this café out from the more traditional smoky joints around town. It's hassle-free downtime for women and a great place for watching Casa's up-and-coming.

  6. Café Maure

    Another exception to the men-only rule, this lovely café is set behind the sqala (fortified bastion) in the medina wall. The flower-filled garden is quiet all afternoon and makes a great place for coffee or delicious juices.

  12. Joya

    The beachfront suburb of Aïn Diab is the place to go for late night drinking and dancing in Casa.

  13. La Bodéga

    This is a great tapas bar and restaurant north of the central market. This is one of the places at which you can see - and be seen with - well-heeled Casablancans (male and female). It's expensive, but good fun and there's live music.

  14. La Petite Roche

    With stunning views across to the Hassan II Mosque, this is another favourite Casa hangout. Littered with pillows thrown across low-level seating and lit by an army of candles, this place has a laid-back but exotic atmosphere. The clientele is not quite as self-consciously cool, or as unruly, as at La Bodéga and the restaurant downstairs serves good tapas, paella and seafood.

  17. Petit Poucet

    A die-hard relic of 1920s France, this strictly male-only bar was where Saint-Exupéry, the French author and aviator, used to spend time between mail flights across the Sahara. Today, the bar is pretty low key but is an authentic slice of old-time Casa life.
