There is only ONE bar in all of Nauru! There used to be more but for various reasons have all closed down now, leaving the Reef Bar at the Menen Hotel as the only place you can get a beer in a social environment. That's fine if you're staying at the hotel but it's a bit of a hike from the Od-N-Aiwo (an hour's walk/30 minutes by bicycle). Having said that, if you ask around, there will usually be somebody who can give you a lift there or back. There are no taxis.
It's a fairly standard bar, offering just two types of beer, standard range of spirits and wine, a couple of pool tables, satellite TV and recorded music. It's lively at the weekends, as Nauruans are paid on Fridays, and quiet on weeknights. New faces will be enthusiastically welcomed by the locals and the expats will usually have a chat, too.
No flip flops/thongs (enclosed sandals are OK) and men must wear a collar. Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Menen Hotel, Meneng districtDirections: You can't miss the Menen Hotel!
