6 Best Nightlife in Rabat, Rabat and Casablanca

Inside the Pietri Urban Hotel, Rabat’s most popular jazz restaurant features superb musicians every Friday and Saturday night. Expect anything from bebop and Latin to jazz fusion. On weeknights, the bar fills up with the after-work crowd and gets lively. The food is excellent, too, with a menu embodying a good deal of Mediterranean tastes and some genuine inventiveness from the chef.

Featuring DJs with music from Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, and more points south, the 5ème Avenue Afro Club is open from 6 pm to 4:30 am. 

Drawing a party-loving crowd, the city's original nightclub has been going strong for over 30 years and shows no sign of stopping. If you're after something lively, look no farther. The fun doesn't really start until after midnight.

Permanently moored on the Bou Regreg River, this boat has several decks on which you can eat, drink, and people-watch while a DJ spins ambient music. Pull up a quirky armchair as the sun sets and watch the twinkly lights of the kasbah splash the historic walls of the medina, or gaze across the river to the marina in Salé. Tapas, burgers, salads, and pizzas are available on the lower deck bistro, and there's a more formal restaurant above. 

Part of the Goethe Institute, this combination bar-restaurant-cultural hub is packed every night. Drinks and food are reasonably priced, with pizzas being the favorite menu item, and the interior is charming. There's a large screen for televised sports, plus a garden out the back. There's often live music, too.
