This is one of the good discos that I visited in the country. The dico is full during the weekends and you can swing your self to the african, indian, arabic and english music.

There is a casino adjacent to the disc, which is very much full during the weekends and finding a table is really a difficult task.

Pleasant place with quite good music. As a visitor from Ghana, I can tell that the music is not the best, but at least you are not harassed in the club.
You don't feel like in other African night clubs where you cannot be alone five minutes without a girl is demanding you a drink.

casual, sexy

In Benin you can find all types of nightlife. There are bars, discos, nightclubs, restaurants etc. There are also several places that offer live music. During my stay in Benin we spent most evenings visiting friends of Luc. I think it was a great way of "nightlife" chatting with the local people over a beer and nice food in their private homes...

I do not recomend going out at night in Benin. First, you run a much higher risk at getting malaria (Benin has some of the worst in the world). Also, you stand a much greater chance at getting mugged or possibly killed. Especially avoid the old bridge (l'ancient pond) at night. After dark, it becomes the 2nd most dangerous place in Benin.

Few locals go to clubs often due to the price and economy. Typical American music and lots of foreigners and prostitiues. Go with a group and have alot of fun!
