AV Nightclub

The roomy night club at the Friendship International Hotel is one of the places frequented by both local party-goers and visiting guests. It is a two-level space, with comfortable seating in the top floor overlooking the dance floor below.

Bars & Nightlife

Nightlife in the Ethiopian capital can be either very low-key or borderline raucous, depending on where you go. The country has a jazz tradition going back to the 60s, which was, sadly, temporarily suspended during the years of communist regime. Along with other kinds of live music, the jazz scene is now back up and ready to be thoroughly enjoyed at venues across town. Don't miss "tej" — a murky honey wine served in bulb-shaped glass containers at designated "tej houses" (tej bet), and not only.
