Harry's Bar

Lilongwe


This hard-to-find wooden shack, located off Mzimba St, dishes up a bubbling atmosphere, live jazz in the garden and revolving entertainment. A Lilongwe institution and a must for any self-respecting hedonist.

Harry is a great person to get the low-down from on local bands and DJs.
