Why Go

NOLA Bar at Fairmont Taghazout Bay near Agadir is the coast's jazz bar, built around the bar culture of New Orleans where the music was born.
The whisky list is the headline, alongside aged Cuban cigars and a cocktail programme that leans on classics rather than novelty.
The hotel runs cocktail evenings with live music, which is rare on a coast where nearly everything is DJ led.
It is an intimate room rather than a big venue, with a long lit bar, curtains and low armchairs looking out over the gardens.
Fairmont Taghazout Bay also holds Juniper's, a garden bar with what it calls the widest gin selection in the region.

Music And Vibe

Jazz is the house sound, which the hotel ties directly to the New Orleans bars the room is modelled on.
Cocktail evenings are programmed with live music and signature drinks.
The room is dim, warm and seated, closer to a listening bar than a club floor.
Elsewhere in the resort the tone shifts: Morimoto runs a resident DJ playing deep house over its Japanese menu.

Best Nights

The cocktail evenings with live music are the nights worth planning around.
It works well as a second stop after dinner at Paper Moon, Morimoto or the Tapa Wine Bar in the same resort.
Sunset drinks at the Tapa Wine Bar, which looks over the Atlantic, make a natural warm up before moving to NOLA.

Getting In

The address is KM 17, Route d'Essaouira, Station Touristique, Taghazout Bay, 80750.
It is roughly a 20 minute drive north of Agadir along the coast road.
NOLA is a hotel bar, so entry is through Fairmont Taghazout Bay rather than a street door.

Good To Know

Aged Cuban cigars are part of the offer, so the bar caters to a cigar crowd as well as a cocktail one.
The wider resort has Juniper's garden bar, the Tapa Wine Bar with Atlantic views, Morimoto, Paper Moon and the poolside Beef and Reef.
Tamraght, the nearest village to the south, is dry, so the licensed bars in this area are all inside the Taghazout Bay resorts.
