The Furry cup
At the blue beach hotel, where local westerners hang out at the sound of u2, coldplay, etc. the only place in dahab where you can get western hard liquor brands instead of the fakes.
There are several bars on the beach. You can also buy beer, wine and liquor in special shops called Drinkies. One is located at Azzahla market square, another in Mashraba in the small road after Sea Bride fish restaurant.
Some egyptian alcohol brands mimics the names and labelling of better known liquors elsewhere. Restaurants will often advertise Stella beer, which isn't Stella Artois, as well as Sakkara, Luxor and Heineken.
Dahab Partys
Every week different venues hold different party nights. current nights include wednesdays at the sphinx pool bar - house and dance music, fridays at rush village bar for house and dancey grooves.
(kind of) Discotheques
– rush and the tree. but as soon, as more than 15-20 people are in, the doorman says: "it's a party tonight" and charges you 50-100 le for entrance... just ignore the place in that case.
Churchill's Sports Bar and Grill
Red sea relax resort on the promenade 50m down from lighthouse tel 002 069 3641 309, (http://www.red-sea-relax....). lively establishment, with a good mix of tourist and resident trade. serves draught heineken on tap and british orientated cuisine at very reasonable prices. premiership football and other major sports shown on the big screen terrace and downstairs in the air con bar.
Elzar Bar
Next to the ruins of the old harbour on the beachfront. the best place in town for anyone wanting to get pissed late at night. chris the aussie barman is always on hand until the sun comes up serving a variety of alcoholics including the drunken welshman and unconfrontational dave the canadian nice man.
Funny Mummy
Giant colourful curtains and carpet seats offer a great atmosphere if you just want to relax and enjoy some of Egypt's good fruit juices albeit not the cheapest option in town. Avoid the menu though as it tends to over-sell and under-deliver.
Same Same
but different good place for drink &shisha
