Neighbourhood information

Q-Bar is located in a great neighbourhood, on a beautiful Peninsula. The area is a good mix of Residential, Shops, Restaurants. and there is always something to do. Around the corner from us you have the famous Tinga Tinga market which is a must visit in Dar es Salaam. There is also a Supermarket, Hairdresser and Spa, Pharmacy, Post Office, and several restaurants close to us. Coco Beach is a ten minute walk from us, it is popular for swimming, jogging, Martial Art, Kite and wave surfing. On the Peninsula you will also find several restaurants with playgrounds and at the Slipway you can catch the boat to the Island or take the glass bottom boat out to look at the sea life. It is generally safe to walk around during the day but as in any big city, avoid bringing valuables with you. Taxi, Bajaj (Tuk Tuk) and Boda Boda (motorbikes) are easy to find as well. Uber works a treat and is very affordable.
