(but are sometimes free). Expect to drop a minimum of Birr35 for a beer and Birr50 for a
cocktail.
NIGHTCLUB
Farenheit
(off Cameroon St)
A reliably good club that's been around a while. It plays a wide range
of music and mixes it up with DJs and live bands. It's close to the Edna Mall.
Club Illusion
(cnr Ras Desta Damtew & Itegue Taitu St; Thu-Sat)
This is Addis Ababa's most rauc-
ous club and you need to be pretty thick-skinned to survive! It's in the basement of the
Ambassador Cinema. There's occasional live music.
NIGHTCLUB
Tam-Tam
(Beyene Abasebsib St; Thu-Sat)
This nightclub, which lurks beneath the Global Hotel
in southwest Addis Ababa, hosts well-known DJs most weekends as well as lots of prosti-
tutes. It can get very lively and might not appeal to all. Music ranges from Ethiopian to
African hip-hop.
NIGHTCLUB
Platinum
(off Cameroon St; Thu-Sat)
Currently the flavour of the month and packed every
weekend with teenagers and 20-somethings. Beers are a hefty Birr70 to Birr80. It's close
to the Edna Mall.
NIGHTCLUB
Memo Club
About 200m west of Bole Rd, this is another of Addis Ababa's hot spots. Cosy seats, red
lights and the odd full-length mirror surround the circular dance floor, which usually re-
verberates with African and Western tunes. Sadly, it's also popular with expats shopping
for prostitutes.
