Nigeria

Entertainment in Nigeria

  1. A

    Nimbus

    Part of the Nimbus art gallery, and cultivating the same slightly Bohemian air, this is a lovely place for a drink - mellow in the day and happening at night. At weekends there's usually live music, so there's a cover charge to get in.

  2. New Afrika Shrine

    The spiritual home of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti's original Shrine was burned down, but this replacement is run by his son Femi, who plays on Fridays and Sundays when he's in town (cover charge payable). It's a huge shed, but the music blows the roof off.

  3. Bacchus

    This popular place is on the busy Awolowo Rd in Ikoyi. On Saturday nights a varied crowd turns up, dressed to the nines, to dance the night away. Put on your best dancing shoes and join them for a boogie.

    Atlantic Bar

    Head here if you want to hang with the fashionable Lagos kids. There's great music, a few bar snacks and live bands play at weekends. It's very cool.

    Muson

    Opposite the museum, Muson puts on regular plays and classical music concerts - call for details.

    Silver Bird Cinema

    For Hollywood, rather than Nollywood, blockbusters.
