    Kabana Rooftop Bar is a lively, popular place serving a wide range of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages.

    They have a good selection of high-quality dishes on the menu to suit all palates.

    You enter the bar from the road, and it’s up a couple of flights of stairs.

    From the outside, it looks rather unassuming, but inside, it is very modern and tastefully furnished.

    There are lanterns hanging everywhere, giving off a cosy, glow, and music videos playing on a large television screen.

    It’s a very busy venue with young and old alike, and booking is essential to be guaranteed a seat.

    The bar itself is huge, serving a variety of alcoholic beverages and cocktails.

    You can either sit inside the bar or on the rooftop, where most people prefer to hang out listening to the music.

    Table service is provided.

    The food is delicious..

    I took my son for his birthday meal and he chose the steak. He said it was cooked to perfection.

    Some people have expressed mixed reviews, saying waiting times to be served are lengthy and found it was a little pricey in comparison to other places.

    The food is Mediterranean inspired, and they also have a sushi menu.

    Kababa gets very busy, and booking is advisable to guarantee a place, especially if you only wish to visit for a drink.

    Lunchtime is generally quieter, and the lunch menu is also very good.

    The bathroom is rather special too..

    Kabana rooftop bar is lively and loud. It is typical of somewhere you’d expect to find in Gueliz.

    There is a spectacular view of Koutoubia Mosque from the rooftop, especially at nighttime.

    It’s slightly shielded because drinking alcohol with the Mosque in full view is prohibited in Islamic culture.

    Kabana rooftop bar has a very cosmopolitan vibe..

    It is situated at the gate of the medina and open daily from,

    11.00am-2.00am

    They play DJ sets, and it’s a  vibrant setting with a relaxed dress code.

    It is not the ideal place for a romantic or quiet meal, I found it rather difficult to hold a conversation amidst the crowds of people and loud music.

    Lunchtime would be better suited if you’re looking for a more intimate experience.

    There are plenty of places in the medina offering a quieter environment if that’s something you’re looking for.

    Kabana is a modern cocktail bar with a vibrant energy  within walking distance for people staying in the medina.

    It’s definitely worth a visit if you want an exciting evening out in the medina.
