Rivayat, Cocktail Bar at The Oberoi in Marrakech
Rivayat is the lounge bar of the The Oberoi hotel, located on the road to Ouarzazate in Marrakech. The name means “tradition,” and the venue embodies this philosophy: an elegant bar that pays homage to Moroccan hospitality traditions while offering a decidedly contemporary cocktail menu. It is one of the most exclusive bars in the city.
The cocktail menu is crafted with local ingredients and international inspirations: cocktails featuring orange blossom, rose water, Moroccan spices, seasonal citrus, and premium spirits. The bartender’s creations are precise and original, each glass presented with careful attention to detail. A selection of wines, champagnes, and spirits rounds out the offering, accompanied by refined appetizers.
The setting is sumptuous: carved wooden furniture, Berber rugs, candlelit ambiance, and views of the hotel gardens. Live music evenings are regularly scheduled, featuring musicians playing gnawa, jazz, or acoustic sets. The atmosphere is intimate and refined. The venue is air-conditioned, pet-friendly, and offers parking through the hotel.
Rated 4.7/5 on Google with over 110 reviews, Rivayat caters to those seeking a premium bar experience in Marrakech. The perfect spot for a refined aperitif, a drink as a couple, or an evening with friends in an exceptional setting.
