OPIA Lounge & Bar

OPIA Lounge & Bar sits high above Cairo on the 36th floor of the Ramses Hilton, with a panoramic view that stretches across the city and the Nile. The mood strikes a balance between sleek and atmospheric, with signature cocktails that nod to local flavours, sushi next to lamb chops, and a music lineup that shifts from DJs to live sax and the occasional belly dancer.

Pub 28

Pub 28 sits quietly on a side street in Zamalek and has been around since the 1970s, with a loyal local following. Inside, it’s snug and dim—just familiar faces and the occasional curious newcomers. The menu sticks to simple international dishes alongside local favourites, the drinks list is straightforward (cold beer, wine, cocktails), and there’s live music now and then.
