Drinking & Entertainment
The beachfront suburb of Aïn Diab is the place for late-night drinking and dancing in
Casa. Expect to pay at least Dh100 to get into a club and as much again for drinks.
Café Alba
CAFE
( 0522 227154; 59-61 Rue Indriss Lahrizi; 8am-1am)
High ceilings, swish, modern furniture,
subtle lighting and a hint of elegant colonial times mark this cafe out from the more tradi-
tional smoky joints around town. It's hassle-free downtime for women and a great place
for watching Casa's up-and-coming.
La Bodéga
BAR
( 0522 541842; 129 Rue Allah ben Abdellah; 12.30-3pm & 7pm-midnight)
Hip, happening and loved
by a mixed-ages group of Casablanca's finest, La Bodega is essentially a tapas bar where
the music (everything from salsa to Arabic pop) is loud and the Rioja flows freely. It's a
fun place with a lively atmosphere and a packed dance floor after 10pm.
