Nightclubs
The beachfront suburb of Aïn Diab is the place for late-night drinking and dancing in Casa.
However, hanging out with Casablanca’s beautiful people for a night on the town doesn’t come
cheap. Expect to pay at least Dh150 to get in and as much again for drinks. Heavy-set
bouncers guard the doors and practise tough crowd control – if you don’t look the part, you
won’t get in. Many of these clubs cater for well-heeled Middle-Easterners (a Saudi prince has a
palace on the Corniche), with Egyptian or Lebanese performers.
Balcon 33
(33 Blvd de la Corniche) A Fellini-esque, cabaret-style bar-cum-restaurant.
Le Carré Rouge
(Hotel Villa Blanca, Blvd de la Corniche; 11.30pm-4am) An ultramodern pop sensation.
VIP club
(Rue des Dunes) Gay-friendly.
Le Village
(11 Blvd de la Corniche) Also has a slightly gay-friendly atmosphere.
Armstrong Legend
(41 Blvd de la Corniche) Incredibly packed and one of the few places with funky live music.
Other than Aïn Diab, the only real options are clubs at the large international hotels, including
those listed here. Prostitutes work all of the clubs, men are always expected to pay for drinks
and women shouldn’t expect hassle-free drinking anywhere.
Hôtel Transatlantique
( www.transatcasa.com; 79 Rue Chaouia) The seedy nightclub here is good for late-night
couleur locale as the belly dancers and singers provoke the mostly male locals into throwing
money at them.
Sky 28
(Kenzi Tower Hotel, Twin Centre, Maarif) Serves cocktails to more middle-of-the-road live
music.
