Jams Addis

🎷
Bole (near Yod Abyssinia)$$⏱ evening

A Bob Marley-bedecked club near Yod Abyssinia where live bands play Thursday to Saturday — heavy on reggae, with jazz, funk and Ethiopian grooves in the mix — plus karaoke and salsa nights midweek. It's one of the most reliable non-hotel stages in the city for actual live musicianship.

☀️ Local tip

Arrive around 9pm for a table before the band starts; makes a natural nightcap after dinner at Yod Abyssinia.
