Wine & drink in Gabon
Including Libreville Craft Beer Quarter. On the map.
The vibe
Drinking here is defined by the simple pleasure of a cold, mass-produced lager shared in the humid air of a neighborhood bar. It is a year-round pursuit, though the atmosphere is significantly more vibrant during the humid evenings when the breeze finally picks up. You will feel like an outsider observing the local social fabric, as these spots are rarely designed with the international visitor in mind.
