Yumla

NileGuide Expert tip:

The place below chilled Soda club.

Description:

• This is a small bar with a big heart and is very much loved by its regulars. This jamming, quality music loving venue is packed with a laidback, cool local and expat crowd. It claims to host music no one else loves, though the crowds that surge in to listen to resident and visiting avant garde DJs spin everything from techno and funky house to hip-hop clearly dispel that claim.
  

  Though Yumla has free Wi-Fi, unless you come early, I can't imagine surfing here (happy hour is until 9pm). It's open Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 2am, Friday from 6pm to 4am, and Saturday from 7pm to 4am or later. It's located off Pottinger just down from Wyndham Street; look for its artsy facade, which serves as a canvas for changing murals painted by resident and traveling artists.
