6 Different Personalities You’ll Find In A Lagos Club

1.  The Life of the Party

These are the drinkers who constitute most of the drinking spots in Lagos. You won’t really find them at the bar but at tables and they never pull up without their squad. Most times they start by complimenting you on either your outfit, cologne or how much you vibe and before you know it. Boom! it’s a festival of all sorts.

2. The Social Butterfly

You probably think everyone who has a sweet tooth must be a woman. However, we’re here to tell you about Tunde, who will probably opt for a glass of Gordons Moringa Citrus at a bar because he doesn't want anything too strong. And because the combination of liquor and sugar creates an intense yet short-lived buzz, expect a lot of laughter and wide smiles from this lad. Don’t take it too personally though, because it has nothing to do with you – it’s the drink.

3. The Mysterious Drinker

This individual loves solitude and will most times be a regular at a bar because he has formed a bond with routine and the bartender. This mystery person is always deep in thought and will opt for a Johnnie Walker cocktail when feeling celebratory, or straight shots of Gordon’s dry gin in times of grief.

4.     The Classic Drinker

Individuals in this demographic are confident spirit connaisseurs who wouldn’t experiment with spontaneous options. You won’t catch them ordering anything outside the usual Old Fashioned G&T. Often times, they are just there to pass time, by waiting for a business partner or a potential investor to join in on a meeting.

5.     The Curious Drinker

There isn’t just one person in this category as they range from either the individual who probably is new to the game, to the discerning drinker who loves to explore. You’d probably imagine they are in a relationship with the bartender because of all the chatter and banter between them. They like to order drinks with a twist – imagine a concoction with egg whites, tomatoes, bacon and all the other ingredients that would normally be in a pasta dish. I like to think the bar was made for individuals in this category as they keep the bartenders thoroughly engaged.

6. The Spontaneous One

For this group, it is – as the spirit leads. From starting with well-blended Johnnie Walker Scotch and Soda to a glass Johnnie Walker Soda Highball then back to a Bloody Mary. These are the type of people who want to have absolute fun throughout the night. Don’t get it too twisted, we are all part of this crowd at certain points in our lives, maybe just celebrating your new job in another continent or simply having a good time with old friends.
