Bars and cafés are generally open all day from 8 or 9 am until 10 pm or even 1-2 am. At cocktail time, some establishments offer happy hours. In the big cities, such as Dakar, Saly and Saint-Louis, many bars organize concerts by local bands.
In addition to the sodas that the Senegalese are fond of, you can refresh yourself with delicious local juices such as bissap, bouye (baobab fruit) and tamarind. "Senegalese wine", as the red bissap juice is known, is consumed throughout the country mainly as juice, syrup or tea. To cut its tart and bitter taste, it is often very sweet and cut with sodas. For amateurs, Gazelle is the local beer, brewed in Dakar since 1928! It is a lager, light beer with a titre of 4.2º. It is often preferred to Flag, which is considered to have a finer and fruitier taste.
Smoking is not allowed in cafés and bars. Occasionally smoking areas are provided.
