Appaloosa - Bamako

For those who like the traditional pub atmosphere with old wooden furniture, it is a great place to go. The food is good, specially pizza. They also do buffet on lunch. The only joy killer is the barmaids asking you to buy them drinks every 5mns. I heard they have commission on every glass you buy them.

Picture this if you can: A Tex-Mex bar in Mali. Complete with Russian hookers hanging out at the bar and Malian waiters in cowboy ? outfits, and festooned with flags from all over. Truly one of the strangest sights on earth.

Pizza is hit or miss. For every 1 good pizza they make you will get 4 bad ones. I don't know if they have different chefs but it is not a good gamble for the most expensive pizza in Bamako. Ordered 2 pizza Royales and they tasted like flour and water. No pizza sauce, the beef, green onions, and cheese have zero taste. It is like if I mixed a glass of warm water and flour and drank it. So dissapointing.

This place is money trap, with absolutely management improvement , it is impossible to have a decent chat with a friend and just enjoy by sitting on the bar, as all bar workers keep interrupting by asking for free drink, it is annoying, I've been there 2, 3 times, I would say it was so much below my expectations

I didn't understand the concept...a bar, a rest, cantina, wherever....but the food it's really good.
