Take a trip to the main square in the evening there is always something going on and its free. it varies from magicians to street busker's or just watch the artists doing there portraits, we found some evenings we would just sit on one of the benches and just watch the world go by.
No need to worry about the shops closing ,most shops are open in the evening
until about 10pm or later.
If its your first time the supermarkets are called Supermacardos (spelling might be wrong).if your looking for discos your in the wrong location,although there are a couple, it is a mainly laid back location.

2008 and I am back from another visit to Lagos,and what a treat we had in store! if you click here you will see a video I took, we had no idea these people were in town or even who they were but they were spectacular.

Dress Code: No special dress required short sleeved shirt
light trousers etc, but you might want to take a light jacket as it can get breezy in the evening.

A family friendly bar and great fun. They have a spacious bar so plently of space for your big family or group of friends. They have lots of screens for sports events. pool table and video games for the kids. I also played a great games of fun poker on the card table. Also great for Mexican food served in an informal atomsphere

Dress Code: NONE

This was my favourite bar. Why?
Beacuse they have the best music in the city!!! REGGAE MUSIC!!
They play from ska to new roots: Sizzla, Buju Banton, Third World, Byron Lee, etc.

The have a really good caipirinha also. You pay 3 and you have 4. Dangerous offer!!

This beach party takes place in Praia da Batata by the 10th of August. I recomend to buy the tickets because they are cheaper in advance.
It's really crowded every year, actually, you'll have serious problems to ask for a beer.

REMIND TO BUY THE TICKETS FOR THE DRINKS. They don't accept money and many people wait for a long time and then they can't ask because they don't have tickets, so they have to wait twice. Upsetting!!

There are two stages:
- Main Area: Techno, Drum'n Bass and screens with crazy images.
- Reggae Area: Many sound systems and MC's during the night.

The party takes place from 21:30 to 6:00.

Prices:
- Advance: 15€
- At the moment: 20€

THE IRISH ROVER - BEST KARAOKE IN LAGOS!!!!!!

The best karaoke in town. What a great atmosphere!!! For all you Karaoke lovers the Irish Rover only uses the best system SUNFLY!!!! Makes everyone sound fantastic. Even me!!!! There are literally thousands of songs to choose from and Derek (the owner) will even try and find them for you if you can't find it in the book. There is Karaoke every night here. For all you that have done this before you know it's addictive and even if you don't sing 10/10 for the entertainment and atmosphere. The drinks are reasonably priced and the service is very friendly.

When you go say hello to Derek, Luis and Lucy for us. Tell them the two redhead Scottish girls say hello and will see them all in October. This is our favourite bar in Lagos and I am sure it will be yours too! Cheers and happy singing!!!!

How to get there? Go past the Fools n Horses take a left then go up the street and I think it's second on the right past The Dubliner. Just ask you'll find it!!!!!!!

We arrived from Lagos just last week having visited for the third time and certainly intend to return next year.

There are many great bars in Lagos however we would have to say “Eddies Bar” is one place to avoid. We paid a visit to Eddies early one evening and after seeing a rather delicious looking marguerita being prepared and served to someone at the bar we decided to order one of the same. The previous drink was shaken and mixed in a cocktail shaker and served in a marguerita glass with the usual salted rim. However our drink was then prepared in under 30 seconds by pouring the ingredients into a plain looking glass and handed to us without ice or salt and certainly did not resemble any kind of cocktail. This was disappointing enough but to top the lot when we complained to the barman he answered “I don’t have time right now to make cocktails”.

As previously stated good bars are numerous in Lagos but Eddies is not one of them.

Dress Code: casual
