Flirt Lounge

Don’t be shy to ask the staff for recommendations—they're super friendly and can help you find the best drinks based on your taste. My advice is to try something local!

I think it’s a good idea to come dressed a little sharp. The crowd there seems to appreciate a stylish look, and you'll feel more at home in the upscale setting.

If you're planning to drink, I suggest starting with their cocktail specials. They’re pretty affordable and taste great, making it a nice way to kick off the evening without breaking the bank.
Black Rose Bar

My advice is to check the drink specials before ordering. I found out after my first round that they have happy hour deals that can save you a few bucks!

I think you should come by around 7 PM to catch the live music – it's such a cool vibe and gets really packed later on. You won't want to miss it!

I recommend mingling with the locals; they are super friendly and can give you tips on the best places to explore nearby afterward. Plus, it's fun to chat!
Republic Club
If you're planning to meet someone, try sitting near the DJ booth. It seemed to be the spot where a lot of mingling happened.
I suggest checking their special events ahead of time. I went hoping for a dancing night and discovered it was a quiet lounge evening, which was a letdown.

My advice is to try the local drinks at the bar. They’re way cheaper than those imported ones and surprisingly good – I loved the Tej!

I think bringing cash is key. The card machines can be finicky, and some vendors only accept cash, which zapped my wallet a bit
Abyssinia Nuru Massage

My advice is to try the Nuru massage; it was an amazing experience! Just a heads up, it can be a bit pricier than the basic options, but totally worth it.

I recommend calling ahead to book your session, especially if you're going on weekends. I showed up only to find out they were fully booked. Totally bummed me out.
I suggest arriving around 1 PM to avoid the busy afternoon rush. You'll get better service and a more relaxed vibe.

You might want to bring some water or a small snack. I was starving after my session, and the nearby cafes were a bit further than I thought.
Labella Addis Massage
Mama's Kitchen | Bole Medhanialm

I suggest visiting on a weekday afternoon if you want to avoid the crowd; it gets pretty packed during dinner hours, so plan ahead!

I recommend trying the traditional Ethiopian dishes like injera; they offer a great variety, and it's super tasty. Don't miss the spicy lentils!
Surrender Night Club

My advice is to dress smart-casual. It helps you blend in and feel comfortable. I wore flip-flops and felt out of place. Next time, I’ll definitely opt for a cooler pair of shoes!
Watch out for the hidden fees; some places add on extra charges for service unexpectedly. Check your bill carefully before paying. My friend got hit with a surprise fee here and it wasn't cool.

I recommend going on Fridays or Saturdays; that's when the vibe is lit! The place gets packed and you don't wanna miss the energy. Just make sure to arrive around 9 PM for the best atmosphere.

You might wanna try the local drinks! They’re much cheaper compared to the imported ones, plus you get a tast of Ethiopian culture. I ordered an amazing honey wine for under 5 bucks!
Jubilee Lounge
Club H2O

I suggest getting there around 10 PM to beat the crowds. The vibe is more chill at that hour, and you can grab a good spot to enjoy the music without feeling rushed.
My advice is to check out the drink specials—they do promotions on certain nights which can save you a good amount. I missed out on a couple of deals that could’ve helped my wallet.
i really loved the music selection, but i think you should ask the dj if they can play your favorite tracks. they’re pretty chill and might just play it if they have it
