Caid's Bar
(El-Minzah;85 Rue de la Liberté; 10am-midnight)
Long the establishment's drinking hole of
choice, this el-Minzah landmark is a classy relic of the grand days of international Tangi-
er, and photos of the famous and infamous adorn the walls. Women are more than wel-
come and the adjacent wine bar (wine from Dh35) is equally good.
BAR
Pilo
BAR
(cnr Ave Mexique & Rue de Fès; 11am-2am)
A party atmosphere pervades these two floors of
local colour, underscored by some high-energy music and festive lighting. Recently redec-
orated, it sports red walls and year-round Christmas decorations. Women can feel com-
fortable here, though the working girls are upstairs.
Americain's Pub
(Rue al-Moutanabi; noon-2am)
Don't be fooled by the name: this pub is outfitted as an au-
thentic part of the London underground, with white tiled walls, ubiquitous red trim and
signage far more authentic than the Bobbies would appreciate. It's the perfect place to
hide: there's no street number, and the phone is out of order.
BAR
Hole in the Wall Bar
(Rue Prince Héretier; 11am-midnight)
For chuckles only, walk up Rue Prince Héretier from
the Terrasse des Paresseux one-and-a-half blocks and you will see a pair of swinging
black doors, Old West style. Welcome to the smallest bar in Tangier, if not the world. Beer
(from Dh20) only.
BAR
Loft
( 0673 28 09 27;
www.loftclub-tanger.com
; Rte de Boubana; 10pm-4am Thu & Sat)
Easily Tangi-
er's premier nightspot, this world-class, state-of-the-art club holds 2000 people and feels
like an enormous silver cruise ship, with upper-storey balconies, sparkling metal railings,
billowing sail-like curtains, spotlights cutting through the artificial fog - and no cover. DJ
Spicy spins house and R&B. It's west of the city, near the Royal Tangier Golf Club. Go
after midnight.
