Lagos is undoubtedly one of the best nightlife spots in Africa. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the city is known for its music and film industries, and those folks always like to party. Of course, other locals, tourists and expats like to party as well, and there are plenty of places around the city where they can let their hair down and do just that. From lavish clubs filled with celebrities to casual lounges, here are the best places to get drunk and party it up in Lagos, Nigeria.
Cova Lounge
This Victoria Lounge hot spot has long been drawing crowds to its outdoor terrace and large dance floor, even when it was known as the Kudeta Lounge. It’s located on the 4th floor and rooftop of the Mega Plaza Shopping complex and is easy to find. On weekends, the club turns into a karaoke bar with regular grill outs, so you’ll have something to munch on after drinking half a dozen vodka cocktails.
New Afrika Shrine
Fans of Afrobeat music will definitely want to stop by the New Afrika Shrine located in the CBD. It’s owned by Femi Kuti, one of the most famous singers in Nigeria and the son of Fela Kuti. The crowd really gets hopping on Sunday where there is a three hour show hosted by Kuti. Of course in a venue like this, there are plenty of drinks to go around as well.
