Lusaka Nightlife
Lusaka is the capital of Zambia and also the capital of the country. Although it doesn’t have an extremely robust nightlife, there are plenty of bars where visitors can stop for a drink.
Alpha Bar
Alpha Bar is an absolute legend in Lusaka and draws a wide range of individuals, all who gather to find a drink and dance the night away. It’s the one place in the city where you’re guaranteed there will be music playing every night of the week. Visitors who don’t feel like dancing can play pool instead. The prices are affordable, but visitors should take basic precautions when visiting. Travel in groups where possible, and avoid wandering into the surrounding neighborhoods late at night.
Other Bars
Johnny’s is a local favorite. It’s equipped with a great dance floor that’s built over the indoor pool, which creates a unique effect that can’t be found elsewhere in the city. The prices are also very affordable. This bar is a common destination among the expat community and attracts a fun crowd.
There’s also a chain Irish pub in the city called O’Hagans. It has a huge selection of drinks, although some of them can be a little pricey. The bar has satellite TV, so sports lovers are bound to find something they enjoy watching. The staff is also quite friendly. O’Hagans is one of the only places in the city that serves beer out of proper pint glasses, and they host live bands on the weekend.
