Where to drink beer in Marrakech in 2026: Churchill Bar, Grand Cafe de la Poste, Sky Bar Es Saadi and the hotel and rooftop spots that actually serve.
The short answer
8 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Marrakech is not a craft beer town. Morocco has a limited drinking scene and almost no craft breweries, so beer here means a cold Casablanca lager or an import, served in hotel bars, licensed restaurants, and clubs. The spots below are where you can actually get a drink, ranked on room, view, and reliability.
The Churchill Bar inside La Mamounia is the grand, low-lit hotel bar named for Winston, open nightly 5:30pm to 1am to guests and non-guests alike. Do not come for craft beer; come for a cold Casablanca or a proper cocktail in a room that drips money. Live jazz some nights. Dress up, sit at the bar, and expect hotel prices. The corner tables sit furthest from the piano if you want to talk.
Full listing & hours →The Grand Cafe de la Poste is a 1920s colonial brasserie in Hivernage where you can actually get a beer with dinner. The Casablanca and imported lagers are cold, the ceiling fans turn, and the room runs handsome. This is a long-dinner-into-drinks spot, not a taproom. Order a beer and the steak frites. Go for the upstairs gallery seats; the ground floor near the door catches every arrival.
Full listing & hours →The Sky Bar at Es Saadi is a Hivernage rooftop where the draw is the Atlas view at sunset, not the beer list. Expect bottled Casablanca, imports, and cocktails at resort prices, with a DJ later. Come for the golden-hour terrace and a cold one, then move on if you want depth. Go right at sunset for a rail seat; arrive late and the worst spot is the inside bar with no view.
Full listing & hours →Le Comptoir Darna in Hivernage is the dinner-and-show institution where dancers come down the stairs around 10pm. The bar pours cold beer and cocktails, but the room is built around the spectacle, not the tap list. Come for the night out, eat first, and expect a crowd. Order a Casablanca and settle in. The mezzanine tables see the show best; the back bar misses it entirely.
Full listing & hours →El Fenn's rooftop sits inside a riad near the medina and pulls a stylish crowd up for sunset over the Koutoubia. The beer is bottled and the cocktails are the real order, but it is one of the few medina spots serving alcohol at all. Come for the terrace, the daybeds, and the view. Go before sunset to claim a low seat up top; arrive after dark and you are stuck at the indoor bar.
Full listing & hours →The Nobu Hotel Marrakech bar pours signature cocktails and cold Casablanca alongside the kitchen's sushi, in a sleek room aimed at the international set. It is polished and pricey, not a beer destination, but the rooftop garden bar runs a fine terrace. Order a drink and a few bites at the bar. Go up to the rooftop at sunset; the ground-floor lounge near the lobby is the seat to skip.
Lotus Club is a dinner-cabaret in Hivernage where the show and the late crowd are the point. Beer is bottled and the prices are club-level, so this is a night-out room, not a craft stop. Come for the performance and a long table with friends. Order a Casablanca and pace yourself. The booths near the stage are the seats; the bar by the entrance loses the show and catches the door traffic all night.
Full listing & hours →Kabana is a rooftop bar-restaurant looking straight at the Koutoubia minaret, one of the easier medina-edge spots to get a cold drink. The beer is bottled, the cocktails are solid, and the view does the heavy lifting at sunset. Come early evening for the terrace rail. Order a Casablanca and a few small plates. Arrive late and the worst seat is the covered inside section that misses the mosque entirely.
