How much is a beer or glass of wine in Morocco?

Morocco is a Muslim country, so alcohol is available but not everywhere, and it carries a markup wherever it is sold. A local bottle of beer — Casablanca, Flag Spéciale, or Stork — costs 30–60 MAD ($3–6) in a licensed bar, restaurant, or hotel. Imported beers run higher, 50–80 MAD. A glass of Moroccan wine is typically 50–100 MAD ($5–10), and there’s genuinely good local wine — the reds from Meknes and the Guérrouane region are well worth trying.

Where you can buy it matters more than the price. Alcohol is sold only in licensed venues: hotel bars, dedicated restaurants with a licence, a handful of bars in Gueliz and the Ville Nouvelle districts, and the discreet alcohol sections of big supermarkets like Carrefour and Marjane (where a bottle of local wine from the shelf is far cheaper, 50–120 MAD). You won’t find it in traditional medina restaurants, ordinary cafes, or the corner hanut.

A bottle of Moroccan wine on a restaurant list usually runs 200–400 MAD ($20–40), and at the upper riads and hotel rooftops considerably more. Cocktails at a smart hotel bar are 80–150 MAD. If you want a sundowner with a view, the rooftop bars in Marrakech and the seafront spots in Essaouira and Casablanca deliver — just expect resort-style pricing for the setting.

Honest etiquette: drinking is legal for visitors but kept low-key, especially during Ramadan when sales pause for many venues and public consumption is best avoided entirely. Don’t expect to drink at every meal the way you might in Europe — plenty of wonderful restaurants are dry. Stock a few bottles from a supermarket for your riad if you like a quiet drink, and always be discreet with alcohol in public.
