A Great Night Out
As a solo female traveler I like to take a night tour when I land in a new country. Oli set the bar and showed me the cool side of Addis Ababa. I would have never found these bars and live music on my own. Oli is very knowledgeable about Ethiopian history and culture and in general can hold a great conversation across many topics. This is a great option for those who want to get out of the hotel and hang with both locals and other tourists looking for great music, conversation, and drinks.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We’re delighted that Oli made your first evening in Addis Ababa memorable, introducing you to local bars, live music, and the city’s vibrant atmosphere. We’re especially pleased that you enjoyed his knowledge of Ethiopian history and culture and the engaging conversation. We will gladly share your kind words with him and look forward to welcoming you back to Ethiopia. Warm regards, The Liyu Ethiopia Tours Team

Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.
Is Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?
+
On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience?
+
Included: Professional guide; You will have one free drink at each of the three places; All entrance fees; and Transportation pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 19 listed pickup locations in and around Addis Ababa. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Addis Ababa Night Tour: Local Beer, Wine & Nightlife Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
