Dar's biggest party night happens once a month at the Mediterraneo Hotel and Restaurant; the city's sexiest crowd -- usually a good or people -- gathers for an all-night festival of drinking, dancing, and strutting that kicks off around 11pm or midnight. Admission is Tsh15,, and you might want to hire a taxi to wait for you all night. Owned by one of the brothers from the Mediterraneo, Runway Lounge , on the second floor of Shopper's Plaza on Old Bagamoyo Road, is Dar's outright hottest after-dark venue and a world-class spot to drink, lounge, and boogie side-by-side with a flamboyant crowd.
For details, you can contact the venue tel. Make sure you wear long pants and closed shoes. It's a safe, comfortable place to watch the easy rhythm of after-dark Dar as expats, tourists, and even a few ladies of the night trying haplessly to be discreet gather under one roof to enjoy the cold beer and cocktails.
A little less downmarket is O'Willies Irish Pub tel. There's trip-down-memory-lane live music on weekends -- and a lot of drinking.
Finally, since Dar nightlife kicks off quite late, the best place to start off your evening is at Level 8 , at the Kempinski hotel tel. With its breezy, elegant layout and scintillating view over the port, this is arguably the best sunset spot in town, where you can watch dhows mingling with cargo ships on the gold-tinged water down below. Then suddenly the scene is silhouetted by enormous spotlights that illuminate the harbor after dark.
Listen to business deals being struck and romantic deals smoothly negotiated. Every Friday night from 9pm, Tanzanian songstress and musician Carola Kinasha brings a bit of magic to the place.
