You don’t know what to do at night in Marrakech?
Whether you are a fan of bars, pubs, concerts or any other lively place, what better way to feel the atmosphere of a neighborhood than to go out in Marrakech .
Here is our selection of the best places to spend a good evening.
Table des matières
The best neighborhood to go out: Guéliz
Unlike many Western cities, Marrakech does not necessarily have a downtown area where restaurants, bars and nightclubs are grouped together to ensure that the tourists who stay there have a great time
However, there is one area in the city that has a good supply of drinking establishments and other places to party: the Guéliz district
This area was built during the time of the French colonies, and today the neighborhood has diversified to offer a great range of entertainment with restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs among other trendy places to spend a good evening with friends.
This is where the places to have fun in the evening are concentrated, and our favorite restaurant/bar in this neighborhood to go out in Marrakech is called L’Entrepote. It’s a divine tapas bar that offers incredible cocktails!
Address : Guéliz, 40000 Marrakech, Morocco

Best restaurant/shisha bars and traditional bars
Azar
Not far from the Royal Theater and El Harti Park, Azar is basically a restaurant that serves Moroccan cuisine in a rather luxurious setting. The place offers to its customers shows of belly dance and traditional songs. There is also a relaxation area with a shisha bar.
The dishes served are of an irreproachable quality, the whole in a grandiose decoration! The prices are perhaps a little high unlike other Moroccan restaurants, but considering the culinary and entertainment offer that Azar proposes, we strongly recommend you to go there during your stay in Marrakech.

Pims : the best shisha bar in Marrakech
At first sight, one could think that Pims is a nightclub (from the outside, at least), but in fact, this place is a shisha bar with a rather intimate atmosphere
The price list is very correct, and the personnel is with the small care with its customers. They serve quality products, as well in the chichas as in the dishes or the drinks. Musicians of international fame can also perform there, so if you are interested, go and have a look at the Facebook page of Pims!

Best cocktail bars and lounge bars
Barometer
Baromètre opened its doors recently in Marrakech, but word of mouth has already made its reputation! In a subdued atmosphere, you can enjoy gourmet but also popular dishes (like the hamburger) and sophisticated cocktails that mix well-known spirits and traditional Moroccan spices
The size of the drinks is said to be generous! Just for the original cocktails that the Barometer offers, we urge you to go there.

Bar Churchill
One of the most glamorous hotel bars in the city is undoubtedly Bar Churchill, at theLa Mamounia Hotel, which has a sumptuous Moorish and art deco interior and a strict dress code
Named after the hotel’s most famous guest, it’s the perfect place for a 1930s jazzy aperitif!

Best places to go out with the girls
Henna Art Café
The Henna Art Café is a warm place, with sofas and lots of carpets, where it’s nice to meet friends!
It serves traditional Moroccan food that is really cheap and of good quality, and the place lends itself to an afternoon chat over a little mint tea and good homemade pastries… Yum! Small bonus of the café: as its name indicates, the customers have the possibility of being tattooed with henna by talented artists who respect the epidermis by using unmixed and well-made products.
Address : 35 Derb Sqaya, Marrakech 40000, Morocco

Café Clock
It is the jewel of the restaurants of the kasbah! Café Clock is a bit of a modern version of traditional Moroccan cuisine, like the most famous dish on the menu of this place: the famous hamburger… of camel! Although they don’t serve alcohol here, that doesn’t stop the place from having a great nightlife scene. Traditional Moroccan musicians perform here regularly, and most people even get up to dance and clap at the end of the night!
The Café Clock also offers traditional Moroccan stories in French to help visitors learn more about the local culture. It’s a young, fun and totally Moroccan place to relax!

Best rooftop bars
Kosy Bar
Kosy Bar is located on the other side of the Place du Mellah. It has a large rooftop patio that gives you a fantastic view of the medina at sunset. It’s a bit more expensive than other places in the area, but it’s still a great place to have dinner and a bottle of wine. From its roof, you can easily see the Koutoubia mosque and the picturesque streets below. They even have a musician who can play any song! During your stay, we suggest you go there once for a guaranteed good time!

Dar Anika
This beautiful riad is located in Arset La Maach, near the Mellah square. Dar Anika is a great place to have a nightcap or a drink on the roof. The staff is very friendly and if the owner is around, he’ll stop by to make sure his guests feel well taken care of and enjoy the space. Plus, if you go there, you’ll have an incomparable view of the remains of the El Badiî Palace!

Le Comptoir du Pacha is more than just a place to eat: it is known for its colorful French-Moroccan cuisine. It also has a lounge bar and a club where you can enjoy a drink and watch belly dancers, live music and amazing parties. Every night, the Comptoir Darna classical orchestra, which plays Spanish and Moroccan music from the stairs, performs live. They also do a live dance number called Gnaoua.

Best nightclubs and dance bars
Comptoir Darna
A versatile space, Comptoir Darna offers indecisive night owls an experience that is part restaurant, part cabaret and part nightclub. The outdoor patio is the perfect place to enjoy the bar’s popular cocktails before heading upstairs where diplomats, supermodels and other members of the Moroccan jet set mingle while the instruments play.
If you want to spend an evening in Marrakech in a chic establishment and have a memorable evening of your vacation, we strongly recommend you to go to the Comptoir Darna.

Famous 555 Club
Located in the Ushuaia Hotel, a 10-minute drive south of the medina, young people dance the night away at this glamorous venue where resident DJs (and often special guests) blast mixes of commercial and house music into the wee hours. Girls get free entry and free drinks on Tuesdays; boys will have to pay a few dirhams… but it’s worth it!
Address : Hotel Ushuaïa Clubbing، Boulevard Mohamed VI, Marrakech 40000, Morocco

Theatro
Theatro is a fantastic nightclub that offers amazing shows every weekend with dancers, acrobats, etc. We suggest you go there to see international and local DJs spinning while musicians take the stage to create a crazy remix with their drums. But there is a price to pay: the basic entrance fee is about 225 dirhams (20 euros), and a table with a bottle of your choice starts at 1000 dirhams (90 euros)… All in all, at Theatro, you get what you pay for!

What else to do in the evening in Marrakech?
Jemaa el-Fna Square
The first thing we recommend you do in Marrakech after sunset is to go to Jemaa el-Fna Square and enjoy the street theater. This is the best time to enjoy the music and street food!
Street musicians play many instruments and you can also enjoy your favorite song by giving them money. We invite you to have a mint tea and sit down to listen to traditional Moroccan music. You can also go shopping in the evening, as most of the stalls are open until 2 am.
Address: Rue El Ksour, 38, Marrakech 40000, Morocco

Nomad
If you had to choose only one restaurant in Marrakech, then we strongly suggest you go to Nomad! Not far from the souk Semmarine and the museum of Marrakech, you will eat a delicious Moroccan cuisine in a magnificent setting: the tables are installed on the roof of the restaurant, which allows you while eating to have a splendid view on the place of Spices below. The interior is also nice, well decorated, and the staff is at your disposal.

Chez Ali
Chez Ali is one of the restaurants in Marrakech that offers its customers, in addition to its well-stocked menu and with products that are respected, a breathtaking show of dancers, singers, storytellers, horsemen and musicians in a gigantic decor and in an atmosphere worthy of that of the Puy du Fou! You must go there if you are in Marrakech.
Address : Medina Marrakech, BP9797, Marrakech 40000, Morocco

Royal Theater
The dome and sandstone columns of the Théâtre Royal offer a grandiose exterior, for an interior that is unfortunately very disappointing: the Théâtre Royal is in need of renovation and remains virtually unfinished. Events, including performances by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Morocco, still take place intermittently in the open-air amphitheater outside. For a nice evening in the cool of the night and comfortable in the open air amphitheater, taking in a show at the Royal Theater can be a good idea to spend a good evening during your stay in Marrakech.

Casino of Marrakech
At the Marrakech Casino, you’ll find countless slot machines, gaming tables and poker tournaments while sipping the drink of your choice in this chic and trendy establishment. A gourmet restaurant also serves Moroccan and Western dishes to casino guests. There is also a discotheque there and even a hotel not far away for those of you who wish to enjoy a night out in Marrakech.
