4. Armstrong Official
If you like live music, Armstrong Official is a small bar in Casablanca hosting various live music performances throughout the week.
It’s not as well-known as the other Morocco bars on this list (it doesn’t even have a website – it’s that indie), but it’s one to consider if you’re all about finding hidden gems.
At Armstrong Official, watch live, talented local music acts while enjoying a wide-ranging menu of beers, wine, spirits, and cocktails.
It has a real “local” vibe made up of friendly regulars and live music lovers, but tourists are, of course, always welcome.

Yep, La Pergola is a jazz bar, so it’s not to be missed if you love jazz – or even live local music in general.
