Le Kimmy'z runs two shifts in one room. Early, it is a French bistro on rue Najib Mahfoud. Later, the music climbs, the screens take over, and it becomes one of Gauthier's busiest late bars.
The address sits in the heart of Gauthier, the licensed quarter where most of Casablanca's drinking happens. Le Kimmy'z opens at 6pm and runs to 3am, which is late for the city and a large part of the appeal. The kitchen closes earlier than the bar, so the back half of the night belongs to drinks, music and whatever match is on.
Wanderlog and Tripadvisor both file it as a bistro and bar rather than a pure sports room, and that is the honest read. The screens are part of the offer, not the entire point. On a big fixture they pull the focus; on a normal night they share the room with a DJ and a crowd that came to stay out.
The space is dark and close, with a long counter and tables packed tight enough that the energy carries. It reads as a French bistro until the volume rises, then it tips toward a club with the football still running in the corner. That double life is the reason regulars rate it for a late night rather than an early dinner.
Order tapas and a bottle to share while the kitchen is open, then move to draught beer or a simple spirit once the night turns. The food is competent bistro fare and the sharing plates suit a group, but nobody comes here for a tasting menu. The draw is the room after 10pm, not the kitchen at 7.
The crowd skews young, local and social, with a mix of Gauthier regulars and visitors who followed the noise. Service is warm and quick early, then stretches as the room fills, which is the trade-off for a late bar that does not empty until close. Reviewers on Tripadvisor consistently flag the energy of the back half of the night as the reason to come.
Best time to go is a weekend night from 10pm, or a major match when the screens earn their place, since the room is built for a crowd rather than a quiet table. A midweek early dinner is calmer and perfectly pleasant, but it misses the register that makes Le Kimmy'z worth the late hour.
The location does real work. Najib Mahfoud is a short walk from the offices, embassies and hotels that fill Gauthier, so the room draws a mixed and international trade most Casablanca bars never see. The late licence means it catches the spillover from dinners across the quarter, and the music keeps the crowd in place long after kitchens elsewhere have closed.
What regulars flag most is that Le Kimmy'z is a destination for the second half of the night, not the first. The recurring caution is volume and pace once the room is full, so a group that wants a screen and a table should arrive before the music takes over rather than after.
Le Kimmy'z suits night owls who want a late drink with the match still on, groups looking for a bistro that turns into a party, and anyone in Gauthier who would rather walk home than book a taxi. For a more screen-first night, pair it with Le Pépère in Gauthier or the football tables at Tiger House in Maarif. It is one entry in our guide to the best sports bars in Casablanca, part of the wider Casablanca bar guide.
