    Great place to have a drink or a cocktail with a wonderful sea view. They have also a juice bar, fully stocked with all sorts of fresh local fruit. Friendly menu for families and kids.

    Probably the most authentic spot to grab a drink and watch the sunset on that strip. As u walk further down it gets very crowded and touristy.

    Great location and sunset view. On Thursdays there is live music, but the same band plays every time and the song lineup is exactly the same every time. They should really invite some local musicians to play, so guests can listen to something other than oasis and cranberry covers.

    This restaurant is perfectly situated on the shore and do not make my mistake of getting there late and missing the sunset 😩😩. I didnt have time to try much of the food because I was leaving for another engagement. I tasted the tuna bruschetta and a cheese 🧀 and meat platter. It was fresh and superb. It had parmesan reggiano (the good stuff) not that cheese product mess most local restaurants serve. The drinks were extremely unique and creative. My homegirl had peppercorns in her cocktail and she ordered 3 so clearly it was delicious. I will update my post once I return and have time to try a full blown meal.

    Amazing view but staff is not friendly enough and it's so hard to get a table beside the sea.. they always put reserved sign on these tables and it's always empty which is not good. Food is medium good and I don't recommend to have coffee there.

    The Line gin cocktail was good. Just okay. The food was good also;chicken skewers, rice, veges and i got roast potatoes on request. The service was very nice. From the chef to the day time mixologist. The ocean and sunset view is amazing. This is a good place to just sit and unwind for hours. Loved it as a solo traveller!!

    A beautiful place to watch the sunset and enjoy happy hour with affordable cocktails. Seafood on the pricier side but worth it.

  • 5/5 Apostolos K. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to enjoy a drink near the sea. Thursday afternoons live band and happy people

  • 5/5 Fabrizio M. 6 years ago on Google
    The best cocktails in Dar. Sunset is amazing. Definitely a place to visit for a sundowner. Thursday’s the owner entertains with live music and spritz aperol happy hour specials.

  • 5/5 Doug S. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful spot next to the water. Food was prepared fresh. My grilled vegetables was cooked perfect, just starting to soften but still crisp. Flavor was great. Very beautiful to see. We also had the Mediterranean Chickpea Couscous salad. Again great taste, looks good and filling. We also got fresh juice next to this place.

    Nice location only issue lots of local girls / escorts hang out here which makes sitting with your girlfriend a lil uncomfortable. Other than that nice location at slipway.

    (Translated by Google) Great locations, service, selection of cocktails and ambiance. For use and consumption by mainly European customers. Management is flawless (Original) Ottimi location, servizio, selezione di cocktail ed ambiente. Ad uso e consumo di clienti principalmente europei. La gestione è impeccabile

  • 4/5 Richard L. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely for a drink but the food menu isn’t much to look forward to. Stick to the cocktails and you’ll enjoy yourself!

  • 4/5 Helina A. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place for a drink by the water, especially at sunset!

  • 4/5 Ismat a. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place for drinks, they don't really have large menu for meals.. Outdoor waterfront seating, lovely place to chill your evening. Friendly and professional staff. prices are slightly high but worth it! 😊

  • 5/5 Angela N. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent for a sundown cocktail! Gin is great.

  • 4/5 Judy N. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a bad place but it's right at the slipway so there is a foul smell. They have decent cocktails and food is okay. It's simply nice to sit by the ocean, enjoy a nice cold whiskey while you listen to the waves. Every now and then there may be an acapella singer or druming.

  • 5/5 NAYA S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice place to view sun setting in the evening cool breeze, love this

  • 5/5 Nnenna N. 2 years ago on Google
    Bar in Dar is always my first stop for a sunset cocktail with friends. It is the perfect place to catch up over live music, refreshing drinks, diverse clientele, yummy food, and an ocean breeze. It’s a great place to start your evening plans, or wind down after a day at the Slipway!

  • 1/5 Derek A. 1 year ago on Google
    Better hope you aren’t staying at slipway hotel and have an executive room… overlooking this bar… terrible. The noise is insane, essentially feel like you’re at the bar… pretty incredible, but not in a good way.

  • 4/5 Steve A. 11 months ago on Google
    Good music and a great crowd sort of a Muzungu meet and hookup joint in Dar.... all in all the place has good vibes

  • 3/5 Parvez S. 4 years ago on Google
    A very good concept and location. But, utterly disappointed with their "Chicken Sandwich" 👎👎 The live music, sea view and Tabasco sauce made it easier to swallow the fancy bland bread, stuffed with what seemed like a few chicken strips stir-fried with some cheap tomato sauce. Probably the worst chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. I could honestly find much better food for that price. If you don't know how to make it, then just don't serve it.

  • 3/5 Miguel G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place has a good location. Ideal to watch the sunset as a couple. Prices as in Mexico, a little higher but understandable because you are on the other side of the world. Do not order drinks, try the local beers, although they are not the best. Regular attention. (Original) El lugar tiene buena ubicación. Ideal para observar el atardecer en pareja. Precios igual que en México, un poco más elevados pero entendible porque estás al otro lado del mundo. No pidas tragos, intenta con las cervezas del lugar, aunque no son lo mejor. Atención regular.
