TimetableMost of the clubs and discotheques can be found on Rue d'Ethiopie, the heart of Djibouti's nightlife, and in its perpendicular streets. Unfortunately, most of these establishments suffered from the health crisis of 2020-2021, and some were forced to close down. However, the legendary bars (La Chaumière, Le Palmier en Zinc), much frequented by expatriates, are still part of the nightlife scene, not to mention a few prestigious establishments that have sprung up, such as Vogue, a gourmet bar and restaurant on rue de Venice. Thursday and Friday evenings are at their liveliest.
Budget & TipsThe clubs and discos around Rue d'Ethiopie all look more or less the same. They fill up especially on Thursday evenings, the eve of the weekend. Admission is free, and drinks cost around FDJ 1,000. And once a month, the Kempinski organizes a beach party on the beach.
Night transportIn the evening, it's best to use the city's cabs, often parked outside restaurants, bars and clubs. The basic fare is increased by 50% at night, and often at weekends or on Thursdays, the most profitable day for cab drivers.
Age restrictionsDjiboutians do not consume alcohol, but its consumption by foreigners is tolerated. However, the sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in all districts in the interior of the country and in the working-class districts of the capital. So, drink at home, in hotels or restaurants.
