Castaway Bar

Castaway is Dili's open-air sports-bar-and-meeting-point on the seafront — a wooden deck with plastic chairs, a long bar, big TVs for rugby and football, and an unbroken view of the bay. There is nothing remotely refined about it, but it works: in the evening the breeze blows the heat out, the beer is cold, and the burgers and pizzas hit the spot.

This is also where you go to find out what is happening in Dili — diving trips, expat football leagues, weekend excursions to Atauro. Open until around midnight; later on weekends.
