Tangier


Inside an apartment building, left after the entrance, this bar is perennially popular with expats. The decor is adorably funky, as is the bar's CD collection. The bar's owner, Karim, whose quotes hang above the tables, is lovable and hilarious. Cold beer, decent wine, spirits and tapas are on offer. Women are welcome.
