Like many restaurant-bars in Gueliz, Pointbar's charms are hidden behind a high wall and thickly draped door. Inside, this contemporary tapas bar revolves around a lively open-air courtyard. You have to order something to eat if you want to drink: go for the tasty tortilla, which at Dh30 is a generously sized bargain and the perfect sidekick to cocktails, beer or wine.
