Cairo Cellar
A basement bar in Zamalek, discreet and full of long-standing regulars.
€€ Mid-range
Under a Zamalek hotel, a dark narrow room that works as a neighbourhood bar: draught beer, simple food, conversation. There is nothing to see, and that is the point — you come to sit somewhere and stay.
The extra bit
One of the few addresses in Cairo where drinking alone at the bar does not look odd.
Know before you go
No terrace and few windows: the room gets smoky in the evening.
