Kraken Pub

Bar

👍👍 Excellent pub right on water at the western most part of Africa. The good: Great view of the old lighthouse and sunset. Outdoorsy setting, and designed well for a small area. Service and the drinks are excellent. Great way to meet people here if you’re new in town. The bad: parking is an issue here.... People often mention great, sunset,

    A night of blues rock, great atmosphere, small and cosy place with a good bar selection. Shame about the indoor smoking.

    Excellent pub right on water at the western most part of Africa. The good: Great view of the old lighthouse and sunset. Outdoorsy setting, and designed well for a small area. Service and the drinks are excellent. Great way to meet people here if you’re new in town. The bad: parking is an issue here. Weekends get really busy and you’re better off taking taxi or parking elsewhere. Protip: They don’t offer food here but you’re allowed to bring your own grub. If you want to eat here then order in nearby restaurants and ask them to deliver at your table in Kraken

    Really great place for "apéro" with friends even in family with kids A huge choices of drinks and you can order food in another restaurant around they are cool with. So you can eat mussels and oysters with your beer and with a sunset. We recommend 👌

    Was there this past Saturday 19 February 2021. This place was rocking, had live music and the drinks ain't bad. A little on the high side when it comes to the whisky but not to bad. We will be back again next weekend. I think I am going to love this little place

    Small space but cool space. By the ocean so great views. It gets packed most times but still a great time!

    The wonderful place to chill after work and to have a fresh drink, cocktail or whatever you named it ... ESP for those who loves sunset 🌇

  • 5/5 Ewoud 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty much the only proper pub vibe in Dakar, for just chilling with a beer and a great view. Easily the best beer selection in town, but also do great cocktails. They host a lot of nice activities. The team is very chilled and friendly, and are happy to help you get food from restaurants around them.

    Nice view but small place, price is reasonable

  • 5/5 Roland E. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice expat pub with great seaview. Pubquiz every second week not for Europeans, because topics are very US related

    Nice little pub with good ambiance and great beer

  • 5/5 Erica T. 10 months ago on Google
    Best bar in town! Casual, relaxed fun. Friendly staff. Amazing sunset views! Fair prices and a good selection of drinks - there’s something for everyone. Thursday trivia night is fun! You can order food from neighboring restaurants and eat it inside.

  • 5/5 Iban B. 9 months ago on Google
    A place with these sunsets, and even the Basque Country flag... 5 stars. 🥳🥳 I don't know if my travels will take me to Dakar, but if I go it will be my obligatory visit. Greetings from the Basque Country!!

😠 If you want good food this is not the place to be in Dakar, If you are a customer and you tell them something is wrong with the food they do nothing to make you happy. If you have no other choice but to go there then save your money and go some or any place other than this trap. 3 or 4 managers jus...
