Fes offers a modest selection of drinking venues, primarily found within upscale hotels and guesthouses, providing relaxed atmospheres with scenic views rather than a bustling nightlife.
Entertainment and Music:
The music and entertainment scene in Fes reflects its deep cultural and spiritual roots, providing visitors with authentic local experiences and relaxed settings.
While not a hub for late-night revelry, Fes comes alive with music, especially during the annual Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, which showcases global and traditional sacred performances. For a more regular experience, places like Café Clock are known to host live music, often featuring local artists alongside cultural events. Alternatively, venues such as Mezzanine provide a relaxed atmosphere with a resident DJ and occasional live music on weekends, offering a comfortable setting to unwind.
