  1. Hi, thanks for this great ressource!!! I see there are many interesting concerts at After Eight. But when googling this location, I find many people pointing out that there is a minimum charge of 100 L.E. and that usually only couples are allowed to enter. Is this correct? Does this policy also apply to concerts?

  2. Dear Nomad,
    CairoWanderer, my friend and founder of this blog wrote a review of After Eight which is still pretty accurate. Yes, the (now 100LE) minimum charge does apply and yes there is a couples-only policy. But sometimes, they will let you in if you enter as a group of mixed (male and female) friends regardless of the number. Another way in is to make reservations beforehand. Good luck!
