Black Rose

(Bole Rd; closed Mon) Hiding in a modern building above the Boston Day Spa, this
plush bar possesses a cool vibe and a refined clientele - we felt well out of place! Music
ranges from Ethiopian to Western and Indian.
BAR
Mask Bar
Offline map Google map
This tiny bar is as gaudy as it is cool. Above the glowing green beer bottles that comprise
the bar hang masks of all sorts: some historical, some available in any tourist-tat shop.
The crowd ranges from expats to well-heeled locals. It's well signposted off Bole Rd.

La Vue

(Josif Tito St) Possibly the most oddly situated bar in Addis: it sits on the 10th storey of a
residential block (which must endear the owners to the neighbours), just east of Menelik II
Ave. The walls are covered in art, the views would be great if it weren't dark and the cus-
tomers young and well to do.
Beer Garden

(off Bole Rd) If your tipple is beer then at the German-flavoured Beer Garden you can sit
on a long bench and get 3L of the golden liquid for Birr128 or a 1L for Birr44. Parents
will appreciate the well-maintained children's play park out front.
BAR
Tej Bets
If authentic experiences are what you're after, there's no better place than a tej bet to
down the famed golden elixir (honey wine). Most are open from 10am to around 10pm,
but are busiest in the evening. They're the traditional haunt of men, so women should try
to keep a low profile. They never have signs, so you'll have to ask locals to point them
out.
