Accra Nightlife

Hush Bar/Labone Shop is ideally located in the Labone district of Accra, facing Chase restaurant. It's a cool place to chill over the week-end or after work.

They have a monthly party called Heavy Warmup hold by two djs that know their stuff !!! Special guest djs are often invited, both african and european. Last time I was there, I've enjoyed an atmosphere and music I haven't found anywhere else in Accra !!
Always worth checking their facebook page for upcoming event : !!

Vienna City nightclub is located within the arrival and departure halls of the Kotoka International Airport in Accra. They have a bar, poker machines and roulette Tables. In other words, not the best place to stay for newbies coming to Ghana. The entrance is 4 cedis (2,5 USD).

Jokers nightclub is a popular, but expensive nightclub located on the Labadi Road, opposite the La General Clinic. Tourists and local people go there. The place has bars, danceing floor and an outside terrace. It is open until late hours and closed on Mondays. Entrance fee is 10 cedis (7 USD), so it's quite expensive in African terms.

Even though Labadi is a beach, it's also known for having great action on evenings and early nights. Thursdays and in the weekend are specially good. The bars and restaurants play load music at night, and there is live music too. The Beach is a hangout for singles looking for fun, and business girls looking for a male company.

Dress Code: Shorts or bikini (Ha-ha)

Smashing night with my fellow travellers!

Is a bit outside of Accra, but only 15minutes max out of the centre once rush hour is over!

Hit the bar at about midnight...played lots of pool and won lots of pool!

Then came the dancing girls! Amazing, but by no means sleazy...lots of couples sitting around / dancing about soaking up the atmosphere.

Lots to drink, a bite to eat a bit of a dance and a refreshing change to the sometimes stressful experience of being out bang in the centre of the city.

Dress Code: No caps! Dress to impress as there is a VIP area!

In the evening, go to this local spot and try a grilled tilapia.
You chose a fresh tilapia and they grill it for you before they serve it with rice and vegetables and of course s.h.i.to. You can have it in the restaurant or take away.
The grill is really on the street, I really enjoy this spot, even if they always try to cheat you. (you choose a fish and you might have a smaller one after).

The spot is close to a kind of hostel where all the Nigerian prostitues first live when they arrive Ghana.

Dress Code: Cool

Best night Club in Accra, mainly for foreigners. In Africa, you go to clubs to meet young nice girls. Best girls are in Macumba.
Gate fee: 20000 Cedis and 25000 for Friday and Satutday nights.
Plenty of sexy girls, but you will have to pay. It is a kind of tradition to make a gift to girls, as a foreigner you can give 200.000 cedis or best pay in dollars. If you bring them in a big hotel, they can charge you more.
But remember, all of them dream to be Julia Roberts and you Richard Gere in 'Pretty woman'.

There are a lot of dancings and night clubs emerging in Accra, a little bit everywhere, however, they open and close after some few months. Macumba is the real one, has been there for a very long time and will be there.

back in Ghana in 2010
Macumba is still alive but it is no longer the place to be. Barely 50 people on Saturday night. There are now so many night clubs in Accra. Price is 10 cedis, or 100000 old cedis. Is it worth for a empty night club?

Dress Code: Cool

Every Wednesday, people go to Labadi beach for the great Reggae Night.
Live bands and DJ entertain the whole night a crazy party on the beach where everything can happen.
Lots of people get drunk and hgh but it nevertheless remains quiet and safe.

Dress Code: Casual to swimming pant
