Ok place to get some cheap drinks. One of my friend had a big backpack and another bag. The old cashier man refused our whole group saying there could be a bom inside. I mean for real?? We had to go all the way back and come back as a group again.The next time the same old cashier man wanted my ID. Its just very strange I pick this place for travellers to meet but 3 times he targets just me. From far he sees me and calls me out to create a questionable reason. Bad service!!!

A perfect place to have delicious beer 🍻 with a good price and see some Egyptian Friendly Faces too 🤗 and maybe i will meet you there 😅😉

People watching here is a good glimpse of the local culture, grab a glass of tea/beer, I personally didn’t like the indoor second hand smoke but it’s part of its vibe (cover of the book uncommon)

Nice cafe, reminds me a little bit of the Czech beer pubs. 10/10

The are not Nagi about the time you spend with them. Feel free to set all day long.

Good beer, low prices and friendly people. Can get very crowded. You can bring your own food. You pay for any bottle on your table - so never chose a table with bottles on it.

Its a very simple cafe. The drinks are reasonably priced in comparison to other places in Cairo. Its not much in terms of ambiance and the chairs and tables are pretty small.

Didnt like it cuz.. It serve alcoholic drinks and we are in Muslim country

Good place to try local beers but not the best , always crowded .

Amazing place, cheap beer and good mood!!! I like

Smoke filled room, no ventilation, with unfriendly and dishonest staff. Old allure? Not really, it is backwards. The only positive thing is that you can have a beer in Cairo.

Amazing place, very unique, great place to meet friends, full of both locals and foreigners

What a gem! I don’t think you can find a more authentic bar/cafe in Cairo

The place to drink a beer with an plus friend on cairo. You feel like an real egyptian

Suitable for having a 🍺; has reasonable prices compared to others

The best one place here in cairo to get along with total unknowns peoples and get some talk! Amazing! And delicious beer!

Niiiiiice place really and good view and service .. hard and soft drinks you can set as zone to drink alcohol or set at zone not drank .. and nice memories in this place .. i recommend to visit it and try this advance .....💗💗💗💗💪💗💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💐💪💪💪💐💐💪💐💪💪💪💪

Nice place but should give more important to w c

The 5-star rating is based on the great history of the café. The café is closed and no one around seems to know the reason. The florist claims its closed for renovations. The nearby fast food restaurant (Gad) pretends to have crushed a big competitor and says its closed for good. The tobacconist kiosk says its a matter of days and that itll reopen soon. Lets hope it reopens because its a historical spot and its the only one serving cold beer. Cheers!!

Great place for Egyptian booze for 34 pound

Good classic time travel bar and coffee shop

Very nice . I like it. It is cafa and bar .

Central and Good local bar, beer prices are fair ! 🍻

One of the oldest cafes in downtown cairoHuge cafe easy going to have coffee or tea cold drinks and the serve alcohol .The people are mix kind of people nice atmosphere not doggie underground bars .

Located in Bab-Elouq in front of Falaky garage, Good local place to have local beers, they serve heineken beers as well, gets crowded on weekends, they serve limited cold carbonated beverages, coffee and tea, no shisha..Be aware of servant Milad he is very pushing on serving drinks and doesnt give you a break between bottles, so you will need to tell him to f@#$& off for a bit.

Great atmosphere. Cheap beer. The only downside to it is Milad, the waiter, who rips 10-20 egp off of you.

One of the oldest and best coffee shops in egypt

Its a good place to start off your night. Beer is marginally more expensive than retail value - which is excellent for a cafe - and theres plenty of it to go around. Just dont spend too much time on those chairs, its absolute torture on your back.

I love it, one of Cairos unique spaces serving beer at a local cafe style .. you will definitely live grabbing a beer there, but watch out the waiter keeps opening new ones once you are done ;)

Cheap beer. Unique ambiance

While the beer is cheap, the place could be a bit weird during rush hours with strangers seated at your table owning to the fullness of the place. Its noisy most of the time, but it gives a feeling of sitting at a local café which pairs well with the whole social setting of the place.

I was there twice when I was in Cairo in November, but it was closed both times. I thought it was I thought it would be finally closed. But here are reviews from the last few days and weeks. So it seems to be open. Can someone tell me if and when its open? I like the place. I often sat there, read and had a beer.

A local bar where you will enjoy your time there

Its a nice place to grab a beer and enjoy a historical place ... The staff is friendly and nice . and their prices are affordable . And never worry about parking there’s a guy outside who take ur car and give to u back when u leaving.

The server asked rudely for tips, old place , no renovations, mostly for people who like to smoke & drink beer, but its LGBT friendly.

Meh, not a destination but serves its purpose.

Bad teaCool bearOld and unique spaceVery Loud

A good place for expats & foreigners to enjoy a beer and the local atmosphere, my problem is that it’s very loud, you can’t even hear your friends talk. And the service there is very formal. The guys don’t even smile. The place is always crowded but you can always have a place to sit. The prices there are very cheap a beer costs 30 LE and a coffee costs 7 LE, so you can have a drink there even if you’re broke.

One of the few places in Cairo that sells alcohol and doesn’t cater to tourists. Reasonable prices for beer, from 31-37 Egyptian pounds or just under 2 USD.Not a high end place by any measure, but an authentic experience with locals drinking in a generally dry city. Two or three staff walk around asking if you want more beer. Pretty smokey inside too. Not a western bar either.Still, if you’re looking to see how locals drink and enjoy an authentic night drinking in Cairo, this is the place.

This is one of the oldest most authentic local bars of downtown. Still keeping its style, tables, high ceiling and this social vibe from decades ago. You can find local egyptians and foriegners having beers. There is also some other beer and ID choices. There is a separate area for non alcoholic cafe drinks.

Ive been to this place practically every day for the past week. Stellas for 30LE (about 1.5USD). As a solo traveller, I just wanted a place to have a beer or two and get something to eat after. There is a fantastic shwarma place next door (GAD) and I have met other expats practically every night here. The service is quick and theyre always bringing more beers around. They have water, soda, and malt beverages as well as coffee for those who dont drink.Some reviewer say it gets too loud. It does get loud at night, but not so bad that you cant have a conversation.I will come to this place every time I visit Cairo.

The staff are VERY RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL, they force to order and they rush you to finish your order to leave. The way they deal with customers is very bad that got to a level of harassing us and saying bad words. Definitely not recommend to visit.مكان سئ واللي موجودين فيه كحيانين

One of the oldest coffee shops that serve beer

Local watering hole. Popular with the downtown crowd, tourists, expats and a mix of locals. Staff hasnt changed in ages, go a couple times and youll be treated like a regular. Fun place to meet friends, it can get packed on the weekends. You can sip your beer, get your shoes shined and buy a newspaper. ;)

A nice place to meet with up your friends and others too.Loud, and noisy, but the atmosphere is so great, no one is going to bother you any how.Waiters arent so friendly, and kinda lazy sometimes.Over pricy these days, but im going to rate it as one of the best local bars in the downtown.

One of the most beautiful places ever visit. I wonder how to be an Egyptian and not to enjoy having 🍺🍺 there

Local setting, cheap beer, and a nice choice for a quick hangout. Place is usually crowded, too noisy, and very lame service. Selection of drinks is so poor and limited to local kinds of beverages.

Easily accessible from the Metro station, pretty close to all the Major attractions located in the heart of the capital.

A really cool place I love its 40s interior specially the hight of the ceiling maybe they dont have the best drinks and gets crowded at night but its still worhty one of the best cheap places to gather at with friends in downtown

One of my worst experience in Cairo. The staff are VERY RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL, they force to order and they rush you to finish your order to leave. The way they deal with customers is very bad that got to a level of harassing us and saying bad words.Definitely not recommend to visit

The place is nice and cosy, and always crowded and u always can find someone to talk to, people go there and they turn to be very friendly and nice and the place doesnt target a specific level of people actually it is visited by all types of people, dont expect any fancy treatment or a classy place, it is actually a local cafe that serve alcohol.

Manage your expectations; this is a no-frills beer bar and cafe. They don’t serve food but there is a Gad restaurant right next door. This place literally has some of the cheapest beer in town outside of ordering it through the Drinkies app. It’s also not sparkling clean, but neither is almost everything in this wonderfully real city. Foreigners and locals mingle here...yes there are hipsters...but don’t let that deter you. This is a historic watering hole where people talk, imbibe in their drink of choice and escape the horrendous traffic outside. Come here to sit for a bit, people watch, and escape the touristy side of Cairo.

Good coffee cozy place service beer who like to drink

A great place to spend a few hours enjoying the Stella beer and watching/listening to the world’s problems being analysed and solved. I always enjoy my evenings at El Horreya Cafe/Bar. Great crowd and very helpful bar staff. Really worth a visit

One of the most popular cafés and local bars in egypt.. Located in the heart of Cairo and downtown... Usually very crowded and busy... But the guy there will find u a place.... Even with a group of people sitting together.... Prices are inexpensive at all... Most expensive bottle worth 33 egp... The guy in there will never leave you without a bottle more than 5 minutes.. He will always get a refill.. Not for free off course... Not vat charges... When paying the cheque make sure to have the exact change...

Good place downtown Cairo for friends and late night. Not recommended for families and you would probably want to go there only for alcohol.Its also pretty much antique cafe from old Cairo.

Nice cozy traditional Egyptian cafe that sells beer as well, good if you wanna grab a local beer and get a taste of the common Egyptian cafe .. not Starbucks style ones. Not air conditioned, not fancy or luxurious.

Genuine 40s style Café in the heart of downtown Cairo. The owner is still keeping every single thing as it used to be,: chairs, tables, windows, even the waiters seem to step out of history ! Interestingly, the place offers beer: try the Meister Max 8%, served cold to perfection. For amateurs of the good old Stella, youre treated to ice cold beer bottles ! Lovely experience but then no food !

One of the most authentic hipster Freindly bars in Egypt. The place has so many lights that your eyes hurts 😂. Full of downtown hipsters and local guys. You can go there as single, same gender group or mixed genders group. They always welcome expats but you must adhire to the country culture. Its so easy you can go wearing anything you want.

Local ,Oriental and oldish placeWanna have some beer in the heart of the downtown atmosphere! this place is for you

Well, its a very very local dirty place that is poorly ventelated with very few fans. The place serves only beer (local and Heineken) and ID (15% alcohol), prices are cheap (the price of the bottle from a local drinkies alcohol shop + very low fee)

It only has beer, no food of any kind but you can buy your own food, its kind of an oriental local café that services beer. However, one of the waiters there is weirdly friendly and verbal harasser, his name is Milad, stay away from him.

Very cool to partake in the bohemian lifestyle of Cairo. Its a simple bar but with cold beers. Come for the experience. Full of friendly Cairenes and expats.

One of the very old cafeterias in old down town of cairo. The place is not fancy or comfortable or beautiful. It is very basic and simple with old tables and wooden chairs. They do not offer shisha unlike most of cafes in Egypt as the most of them offers shisha. The place offers a variety of beers and basic snacks to go with beer. Many of Cairo expats, foreigners, and artists, sit there and gather in this place. The most crowded day is Thursday.

The lighting is awful, the chairs are uncomfortable, the paint is chipping, and the staff are rude. But somehow it all hangs together. The cheap and plentiful beer helps. Probably the most well-known baladi/Stella bar downtown, Horreya is popular with a broad crowd.

It was very halogen lit like others have said. It was also very big and a weird voice as compared to western bars. Were in Egypt... it was good. Zsauce24 on I G for more pics.

I just gotta say what ever are the good rumours you heard about this place they are an understatement! Great place very vintage and has the most diverse customers you can ever see in one placeJust enjoy

One of the Cairo landmarks. Always a lively atmosphere and a great place to hang out for a beer. The grubbiness and unpleasant staff are all part of its charm 😄

One of the best baladi bars in cairo ... the best service you can get at a baladi bar which is still not that great ... cheap beer ... great atmosphere and really laid back crowd ... super friendly waiter

I have mixed feelings about horreya. It is good for a quick, casual chat. Not generally warm. People go there for Stella I guess?

The waiter Milad is very rude, unprofessional and has a very bad attitude. i went there to have a good time with my friends but he ruined our time with his terrible behavior.

Very good atmosphere and local and foreign friends can stay and talk together in the placeTake care when you pay and ask about the prices they will charge you more all the time

Beer is served. The place is usually very crowded and noisy. The staff isnt the best but the people is going there are normally nice and intellectual.

The dont serve food. not very clean, nice but sloppy staff, only have Stella and Heineken, no tv, no music, not much to do in the bar

A must be place! Old egyptian climate. They serve hot drinks in an open part, and alcohol in the one more closed (people from the street cant see youre drinking alcohol). If You sit in the alco part thell serve beer without asking. You pay for each empty bottle on your table. You can bring your own food (its next to egyptian fastfood gad) alor buy chips from the news agent standing next to Horreya. The name of the place means freedom. This is the place when revolutionist before tahrir in 2011 met. No photo allowed (still its a place for some meetings). One of my favourite pkaces in Cairo! If You dobt like the smoke, not even try, absolutely everybody smokes here.

Dirty af.. this place need to be clean’d u guys, it definitely can use some improvement

Cheapest beer in Cairo!

Nice for a quick beer low budget bar ,, very crowded sometimes for chilling and talking ,, but it is a landmark for downtown Cairo bars

Local beer & u get to bring ur own peanuts, pretty old place. Good for a quick drink & local experience

Best experience for a local but very old cafe bar. No dress code required, ideal for talking and discussing with friends

For soft and hard drinks

Looking so original and old which is amazing as a new thing for those who go to regular bars also its not expensive

If you want to feel oriental side and hospitality of Egypt with expats and people from different countries in world, you have to spend a weekend night there.

Nice place, but the waiter acts weirdly!

Beer only bar but trendy and buzzing specially late at night. Best time to visit from 10pm to 02 am

It is a very local cafe to get a beer at a good price in downtown. You can find easily internationals there.

Good place at downtown of Cairo with good prices and nice times, serves soft drinks, tea and coffee and also beer as alcoholic drink only

Nice location, the cafe is old but service is slow and sometimes you feel you are not welcome

You have to go so that you can say you went. A landmark of the Egyptian intellectual class.

Good place with friends

Traditional Egyptian ahwa but you can get beer and sit in a loud open environment. loved it but beer is a little overpriced

A well known cafe and bar in downtown that attracts a cosmopolitan crowd. dont forget to clap when the next bottle falls

Average cafe, nothing deserve mentioning. Old place with local style and serves beers which makes it different than the other local cafes. I dont recommend it!

A place for meetin & chattin in old fashion way, I like the service, still need a variety of appetizers

A cozy simple place u will to be there more than once .. U will find milad 👦 his so funny

The place is cousy and very cofortable and prices are good but the staff and soft drinks quality is bad.Also its +21 place.

Only place to drink beer is inside and its very hot inside in the summer.Good gathering place.

Typical local pub, if u have nothing to do around bab El louq, sit there and order a beer

If you dont like alcoholic and smoking dont visit this place even the outdoor tables are not comfortable

Good place for chilling around
