Nightlife in Addis Ababa

  1. Drink

    Black Rose Lounge

    The energetic atmosphere is dark yet comfortable and fashionable, and the bar serves a variety of drinks. Live jazz jam session every Th night.

  2. Drink

    Gaslight

    Fancy nightclub at the Sheraton. Inside it feels like an upscale Western disco. Don't wear jeans or trainers/sneakers, as they have a fairly strict dress code. Although there is no entrance fee, be prepared to pay heavily for drinks.

  3. Drink

    Illusion

    Club Catch

    Dance till 05:00. Very crowded on weekends, yet that adds to its charm.

  4. Eat

    National Cafe

    National Theater Menafesha

    Reasonable prices and good food. From injera to club sandwich.

  5. Do

    Addis Ababa Golf Club

    18 hole golf course with a restaurant.

  6. Drink

    Dome Club

    The Dome Famous Club

    Sticky and dark, more of a dive bar/club.
