Drink in Addis Ababa


Drink in Addis Ababa

If you want to drink the national drink of Ethiopia, you have to try the 'tej' which brewed from honey. You can also try 'tela' which is like a beer.
  • Liquid Lounge Teppanyaki (food cooked in front of you) is the most exciting dinning experience in Addis. They offer freshly imported sushi everyday. This place is very trendy, they have VIP areas upstairs . On the weekends it gets busy. Located in Kazanches, Nigist Towers Building (Right next to the intercontinental hotel)
  • Champions is the lounge across the street from Boston Day Spa building. Hookah and drinks are modestly priced and the atmosphere is very "Turkish", makes for a nice relaxing night.
  • Affoy This place, it's a little run down upstairs where the bar is and the hookah, but the pizzas are good.
  • Gaslight is the 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.
  • Memo This club is popular for its late night atmosphere. Filled with 'working girls' this club is one of the few that charges admission and be warned about the price they charge you for drinks . However the music is loud and good, the kitchen is open late and it makes for a great night.
  • Club Deep The cover charge is small, but the drinks are inexpensive. However it is better to not go to the bathrooms here as they are filthy beyond belief.
  • Meda Sports Bar and Grill has a large, spacious bar which is comfortable for chatting or watching a game. The downstairs lounge provides a more intimate setting for quiet conversations. And upstairs, the loft has a relaxed, casual dining atmosphere.
  • The Black Rose The energetic atmosphere is dark yet comfortable and fashionable, and the bar serves a variety of drinks. Live jazz jam session in Addis every thursday night.
  • Divine On Bole Road on the top floor of Sheger House, It features a very western-oriented playlist along with ample space for relaxing and a pumping dance floor on weekends.
  • Bailamos On the top floor of the Novis building on Bole Road is a club which features a surprisingly vibrant salsa scene in the Weekends. Bailamos has live music every Saturday (Soft rock, salsa, R&B etc...) and the band is surprisingly good. However, this is considered a lower end club, more targetted to those with a limited budget/college students.
  • Dome Club (Concorde) Debre Zeyit Road, Addis Ababa. Sticky and dark, more of a dive bar/club.
  • Illusions A place to dance till 5am. Very crowded on weekends, yet that adds to its charm.
