Getting there
In the Marshan district above the medina — a short taxi from the kasbah

Why it’s in the log

El Morocco Club is a small bar in Tangier's Marshan district done up in vintage brass, dark wood and zellige tile, built around the city's mid-20th-century reputation as an "International Zone" that drew writers, artists and no shortage of actual spies. The room leans into that history rather than just naming itself after it.

It's a drinks-and-atmosphere stop rather than a full dinner venue — go for cocktails and the room itself, not a meal. The 1,000-plus reviews for a bar this size say it's well known locally, not a hidden secret, but it's still a smaller, quieter room than the number might suggest.

Marshan sits above the old medina and kasbah, so it's a short taxi rather than a walk from most of Tangier's other sights — worth combining with an evening out rather than a standalone stop.

“Small, dim, and dressed exactly like the era it's trying to evoke — not a themed bar pretending at it.”

“The food was delicious. The service is good, prices are high, especially deserts, a bit too expensive. Nice small restaurant”
